Overview

About 2 Cowley Drive

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

2 Cowley Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B27 6SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2000–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 is 30.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 29.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
