18 Flora Road, Birmingham, B25 8BH

18 Flora Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B25 8BH). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced Birmingham HPI: 9.9% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 35.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 37.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
