Overview

About 18 Dora Road

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

18 Dora Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 0RL). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2016. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
