45 Hams Road, Birmingham, B8 1DT

45 Hams Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B8 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 sits 56.3% above the 2007 sale of £80,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
