1 Arcot Road, Birmingham, B28 8LY

1 Arcot Road is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 8LY). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 106.6% above the 2003 sale of £129,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 43.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
