15b, Elmfield Road, Birmingham, B36 0HL
About 15b
15b is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B36 0HL). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 is 46.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£242/sq ft) was about 33.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
