Overview

About 8 Herbert Road

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

8 Herbert Road is a mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 9AE). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in June 2001. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 308.5% above the 2001 sale of £35,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£35/sq ft) was about 53.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
