About 1 Clarence Avenue
1 Clarence Avenue is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 0EB). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2022); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 30.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 134.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
