About 17 Birch Close

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

17 Birch Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Kingsbury, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 2JN). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 12 years since the last transfer (August 2014). At 79 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 7 EPCs).
