Overview

About 18 Onibury Road

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

18 Onibury Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B21 8BD). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 58.5% above the 2013 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 49.3% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in August 2013.
