Overview

About 252 Highfield Road

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

252 Highfield Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Hall Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B28 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 239 m² (around 2573 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.
