Overview

About 8 Dorset Road

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

8 Dorset Road is an end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B17 8EN). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in October 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £222,000 sits 367.4% above the 1999 sale of £47,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 64.3% below the postcode norm.
