3 Flamingo Gardens is a detached house in Birmingham (B23 5AW). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 sits 67.1% above the 2009 sale of £169,950. At 74 m² it's 27.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 21 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
