Overview

About 18 Avenue Road

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

18 Avenue Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 8ED). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in February 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 sits 110.2% above the 2009 sale of £78,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm. At 84 m² it's 15.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 16 EPCs).
