About 12 Birchwood Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Birchwood Avenue is a semi-detached house in Dordon, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 1QU). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 sits 336.8% above the 2003 sale of £46,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 39.1% below the postcode norm.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 12 Birchwood Avenue is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B78 1QU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 12 Birchwood Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- 12 Birchwood Avenue is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
