3a, Beechcroft Avenue, Stafford, ST16 1BJ
About 3a
3a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Stafford (ST16 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 64 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (64–223 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (125 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 is 16.8% above the 2015 sale price.
