Overview

About 3 Dark Lane

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

3 Dark Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hollywood, Birmingham, Birmingham (B47 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 867 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 60), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in July 2010. At 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (139 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 sits 67.5% above the 2010 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£231/sq ft) was about 17.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
