About 6 Dora Road
6 Dora Road is an end-of-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 0RL). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 41.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 53.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
