Skyline, Apartment 15, 165 Granville Street, Birmingham, B1 1JW

Skyline is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B1 1JW). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 51 m² this is the 30th smallest of 82 units on EPC record in Skyline, where floor areas span 41–102 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 is 14.6% below the 2008 sale of £158,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£288/sq ft) was about 19% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since February 2008 — that's 18 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 51 m² it's 17.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 81 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs).
