Flat 1, 8 Mazurek Way, Swindon, SN25 1AR

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN25 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. At 65 m² this is the 6th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–151 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to A, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 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. At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (98 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 is 10.7% above the 2008 sale price.
