1 Brompton Pool Road, Birmingham, B28 0SJ

1 Brompton Pool Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B28 0SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 822 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 76 m² this is the 4th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–84 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 is 31.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 20% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
