Regent House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 17% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 76.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
