Overview

About 5 Dowar Road

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

5 Dowar Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rednal, Birmingham, Birmingham (B45 8RB). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 89% above the 2015 sale of £127,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 16.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 11 years since the last transfer (May 2015).
