About 26 Derwent Grove
26 Derwent Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B30 2UX). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 61% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold May 2021 for £205,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
