Bushwood Court, Flat 23a, Bushwood Road, Birmingham, B29 5AP

Bushwood Court is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B29 5AP). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 758 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 70 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Bushwood Court, where floor areas span 36–88 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 (55 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 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 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 is 45.3% above the 2007 sale price.
