16 Asholme Close, Birmingham, B36 8TJ

16 Asholme Close is an end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B36 8TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 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. At 107 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 48 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 sits 57.5% above the 2007 sale of £113,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
