Urban Gate, Apartment 18, 43 Dallas Road, Birmingham, B23 7DN

Urban Gate is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B23 7DN). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 54 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Urban Gate (54–64 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (62 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 is 10.7% below the 2007 sale of £149,995, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£258/sq ft) was about 136% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
