About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Heckmondwike (WF16 9EX). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 54 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (54–110 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 sits 52.2% above the 2005 sale of £73,600.
