Overview

About 12 Rover Drive

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

12 Rover Drive is a detached house in Acocks Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B27 6TA). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 57), 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 March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 138 m² it's 17.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 9 EPCs). Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 is 41.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£199/sq ft) was about 35% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
