About 8 Halfway Close

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

8 Halfway Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B44 8JL). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009.
