5 Brompton Road, Birmingham, B44 9PL

5 Brompton Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B44 9PL). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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 77 m² it's 28.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 24 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 56.1% above the 2007 sale of £107,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm.
