Overview

About 1 Rover Drive

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

1 Rover Drive is a detached house in Acocks Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B27 6TA). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £405,000 sits 224.1% above the 1998 sale of £124,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 51.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2025.
