1a is an end-of-terrace house in Brindley Ford, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke On Trent (ST8 7QB). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 58.8% above the 2008 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£179/sq ft) was about 70% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it's 25.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 5 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
