It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 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 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sale prices here have lagged Birmingham HPI: -38% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 sits 1330.8% above the 2007 sale of £13,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£15/sq ft) was about 86.2% below the postcode norm.
