Overview

About 8 Ridgeway

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

8 Ridgeway is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 8JA). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 742 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 69 m² it's 17% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 21 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 sits 52.7% above the 2009 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 33.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
