About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Shrewsbury (SY1 1JH). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since April 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 213.6% above the 1999 sale of £44,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 60.4% below the postcode norm.
