8 Elmfield Road, Birmingham, B36 0HL
About 8 Elmfield Road
8 Elmfield Road is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B36 0HL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £227,000 sits 71.3% above the 2009 sale of £132,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 69 m² it's 15.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 33 EPCs).
