Flat 2, 59 Wylds Lane, Worcester, WR5 1DA

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR5 1DA). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (35–50 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 (66 versus a best of 73). The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).

It hasn't traded since June 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. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 is 22% above the 2008 sale price.
