43 Hamstead Hill is a detached house in Birmingham (B20 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2017) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2015.

Held since November 1998 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £401,000 sits 291.2% above the 1998 sale of £102,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
