Overview

About 1 Brook Road

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

1 Brook Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rednal, Birmingham, Birmingham (B45 9UH). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in February 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 475.4% above the 1998 sale of £28,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 72.7% below the postcode norm. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
