About Apartment 8
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Apartment 8 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B1 2AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. At 72 m² this is the 4th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 56–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Last changed hands 10 years ago, in June 2016. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 is 25.9% above the 2016 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Apartment 8 is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B1 2AJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Apartment 8. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Apartment 8 was lodged in June 2026 at band C and is valid until June 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Apartment 8. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 60 schools and 24 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B1 2AJ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- Apartment 8 is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
