About Flat 2
Flat 2 is a one-bedroom detached house in Wakefield (WF2 6EN). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 62 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (38–62 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
Held since September 2007 — that's 19 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.
