319 Sarehole Road, Birmingham, B28 0AL

319 Sarehole Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B28 0AL). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since September 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 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 sits 50% above the 2008 sale of £230,000.
