Overview

About 48 Rookery Road

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

48 Rookery Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 9NB). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 7 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 sits 64.5% above the 2013 sale of £107,000. 13 years since the last transfer (March 2013).
