Watergate Mansions, Apartment 4, St Marys Place, Shrewsbury, SY1 1DW

Watergate Mansions is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Shrewsbury (SY1 1DW). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. At 70 m² this is the 17th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in Watergate Mansions, where floor areas span 28–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 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 70 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 24 EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 111.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
