About 5b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5b is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B9 5JA). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the 10th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–60 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 (41 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 sits 61.1% above the 2017 sale of £72,000. On the market in July 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5b is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B9 5JA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 5b. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5b was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5b. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 58 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B9 5JA, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5b is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
