Flat 1, 4 Museum Street, Warrington, WA1 1HU
About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in Warrington (WA1 1HU). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the 4th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–189 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 sits 92.7% above the 2008 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 284.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 41 m² it's 19.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 24 EPCs).
