Flat 2, 16 Beaumont Avenue, Richmond, TW9 2HE

Flat 2 is an end-of-terrace house in Richmond (TW9 2HE). It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 24 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (24–80 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (61 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

It hasn't traded since December 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 £245,000 sits 81.5% above the 2008 sale of £135,000. At 24 m² it sits well below the postcode median (149 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
