49 Goodrest Croft is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B14 4JU). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 74.3% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 16.7% below the postcode norm.
