Flat, 29 Tyler Street, Sheffield, S9 1DH

Flat is a mid-terrace house in Sheffield (S9 1DH). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (29–48 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (27 versus a best of 65). The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 31.9% above the 2007 sale price.
