Birch Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV1 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 62 m² this is the 16th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in Birch Court, where floor areas span 34–73 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 sits 84.6% above the 2007 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 57.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
