About 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is a one-bedroom property in Tamworth (B79 7EH). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 38 m² this is the 4th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 29 units on file.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 28 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 £106,000 is 39.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 17% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

- Where sold prices come from
