About 16 Farcroft Avenue
16 Farcroft Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
