Overview

About 2 Avenue Road

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

2 Avenue Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 8ED). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 65.9% above the 2009 sale of £80,750. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
