Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Sale prices here have outpaced Birmingham HPI: 3% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £269,000 sits 85.5% above the 2009 sale of £145,000.
