17 Laburnum Close, Kingsbury, Tamworth, B78 2JH

17 Laburnum Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kingsbury, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 2JH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 410.1% above the 1998 sale of £51,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 77.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
