About 212a
212a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hollywood, Birmingham, Birmingham (B47 5HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 sits 82.8% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 25.9% below the postcode norm. At 98 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 30 EPCs).
