Overview

About 34 Douglas Avenue

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

34 Douglas Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B36 8EN). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£304/sq ft) was about 120.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold July 2022 for £327,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
