About 41 Watford Road
41 Watford Road is a detached house in Birmingham (B30 1JB). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 923 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 86 m² this is the 17th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–102 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 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 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (38 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 is 11.3% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.
