Overview

About Apartment 9

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Apartment 9 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B16 8FQ). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. At 44 m² this is the 19th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 43 units on file. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since December 2005, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
