5 Homestead Road, Birmingham, B33 0US

5 Homestead Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B33 0US). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2012); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
