About 279 Ridgacre Road

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

279 Ridgacre Road is a semi-detached house in Quinton, Birmingham, Birmingham (B32 1EG). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 sits 243.8% above the 1999 sale of £76,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 48.8% below the postcode norm.
