About 21 Arcot Road
21 Arcot Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B28 8LY). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Last sale on file: £201,000 in December 2021. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
