Overview

About Flat 8

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 8 is a one-bedroom detached house in Slough (SL1 1EP). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2020) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Main heating runs on electricity. At 53 m² this is the 33rd smallest of 81 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–89 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 is 34.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 29.1% below the postcode norm.
