6 Alexandra Mews, Tamworth, B79 7HT

6 Alexandra Mews is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tamworth (B79 7HT). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 62), 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. Other recorded features include a balcony and a conservatory.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 63 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £255,000 sits 56.4% above the 2008 sale of £163,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 21.9% below the postcode norm.
