About 12 Elmfield Road
12 Elmfield Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B36 0HL). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1025 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 sits 1873.3% above the 2009 sale of £15,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£15/sq ft) was about 92% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 95 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 33 EPCs).
