Apartment 2706, 10 Holloway Circus Queensway, Birmingham, B1 1BY

Apartment 2706 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B1 1BY). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. The latest certificate (May 2024) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 79 m² this is the 62nd smallest of 84 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 18–201 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.

Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 is 24.6% below the 2007 sale of £285,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. Held since February 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. At 79 m² it's 25.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 83 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
