Overview

About 1 Laurel Road

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

1 Laurel Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kings Norton, Birmingham, Birmingham (B30 3AY). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 sits 51.2% above the 2007 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 23.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
