Overview

About 26 Bridge Street

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

26 Bridge Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Polesworth, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 64 m² it's 20.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 8 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sale on file: £205,000 in October 2020. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1996–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 19% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 91.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
