About Flat 18
Flat 18 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Heckmondwike (WF16 9EX). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 109 m² this is the 16th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 17 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.8% per year.
