About 8 Oaston Road
8 Oaston Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B36 0EA). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 966 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since February 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 sits 340% above the 1995 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 59.3% below the postcode norm.
