Overview

About 17 Ridgeway

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

17 Ridgeway is a mid-terrace house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 8JB). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
