Chiltern Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B75 5JD). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 68 m² this is the 4th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Chiltern Court, where floor areas span 63–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 24.8% above the 2007 sale price.
