About 17 Uplands Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Uplands Road is a mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 8BU). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2001–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 sits 64.4% above the 2010 sale of £90,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
