27 Maple Drive, Birmingham, B44 0BA

27 Maple Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B44 0BA). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 627 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 58 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–62 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 is 34.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 25% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
