12 Hill Village Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sutton Coldfield (B75 5BA). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 51 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–249 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (129 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 40% above the 2008 sale price.
