About 18 Avenue Road
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.
