1 Keepers Gate is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Walsall (WS1 3HX). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 60 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 1 Keepers Gate (60–62 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (68 versus a best of 77). The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).
