About 1 High Brow

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

1 High Brow is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B17 9EW). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
