About 19b
19b is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B17 8EB). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 620 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 58 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (58–289 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor.
