Apartment 5 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B17 8EU). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 47 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (47–58 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (61 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity.
At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (146 m² across 40 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 is 30.5% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£259/sq ft) was about 19% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
Apartment 5 sits at the bottom of the postcode for energy efficiency — meaningful headroom to improve.
