5 Ludgate Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Water Orton, Birmingham, Birmingham (B46 1RP). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 58 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (58–65 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 10 units on file. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
