Overview

About 2 Dorset Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Dorset Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B17 8EN). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.

Held since August 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 425% above the 2001 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 65.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2003. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 123 m² it's 25.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 19 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs).
