About 1 West Avenue

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

1 West Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham, Birmingham (B36 0EB). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2014.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
