About 3a

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

3a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B17 8LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2012 onwards. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average.
