About 55 Longfellow Road

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

55 Longfellow Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B30 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
