Overview

About 17 Farcroft Avenue

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

17 Farcroft Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.
