Apartment 1, 1 Jubilee Drive, Birmingham, B20 2SU

Apartment 1 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B20 2SU). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 52 m² this is the 5th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–58 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (48 versus a best of 83). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 12.6% below the 2007 sale of £149,950, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£268/sq ft) was about 23.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
