How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SK1 1JE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Stockport (SK1 1JE). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (33–65 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 6 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (53 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£422/sq ft) was about 55.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2024 at £150,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SK1 1JE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 1. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 1 was lodged in October 2014 at band E and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Flat 1. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 3 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SK1 1JE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
