1b is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B20 3PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 47 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 is 36% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 66.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
