Overview

About 148 Cole Valley Road

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

148 Cole Valley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 0DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a G (score 4), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (March 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 87.4% above the 2014 sale of £150,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 30.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
