About 4 Invention Avenue

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

4 Invention Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B21 9AF). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2012) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.
