Overview

About 6 Dorset Road

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

6 Dorset Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B17 8EN). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 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. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 57.2% above the 2008 sale of £170,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 18.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
