Overview

About 5 Kendal Drive

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

5 Kendal Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cofton Hackett, Birmingham, Birmingham (B45 8QA). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 sits 65% above the 2010 sale of £199,950.
