1 Orchard Villas, Alcester Road, Wythall, Birmingham, B47 6AR

1 Orchard Villas is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wythall, Birmingham, Birmingham (B47 6AR). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £398,000 sits 59.2% above the 2010 sale of £249,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 87.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
