Apartment 5, 250 Robin Hood Lane, Birmingham, B28 0EQ

Apartment 5 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 0EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2019) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. At 69 m² this is the 5th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–119 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (81 versus a worst of 77). Other recorded features include a balcony.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 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. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 37 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs).
