About Flat 2
Flat 2 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, Birmingham (B16 9HX). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 93 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (25–93 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 is 27.8% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £185,500 in December 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
