About 2 Farcroft Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Farcroft Grove is an end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 8PU). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Farcroft Grove. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
