About Flat 5
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 5 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hockley (SS5 4LX). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–78 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (76 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (52 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 is 26.7% above the 2008 sale price.
