5 Aitken Close, Tamworth, B78 3LR

5 Aitken Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Tamworth (B78 3LR). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 889 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 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. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 sits 258.1% above the 1998 sale of £74,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 59.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
