Overview

About 1 Chesterwood

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

1 Chesterwood is a four-bedroom detached house in Hollywood, Birmingham, Birmingham (B47 5EN). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1938 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 21 years, with the last transfer in November 2005. At 180 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £514,000 sits 109.4% above the 2005 sale of £245,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 52.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
