18 Wallace Road, Selly Park, Birmingham, B29 7ND

18 Wallace Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Selly Park, Birmingham, Birmingham (B29 7ND). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (December 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 sits 1500% above the 1996 sale of £12,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£11/sq ft) was about 91.2% below the postcode norm.
