About 2a
2a is a three-bedroom detached house in Hollywood, Birmingham, Birmingham (B47 5BN). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 is 22.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 137.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
