38 Robin Hood Lane, Birmingham, B28 0LN

38 Robin Hood Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 0LN). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (119 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £390,000 sits 140.7% above the 2008 sale of £162,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 41.6% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
