98 Parkfield Road, Alum Rock, Birmingham, B8 3AY

98 Parkfield Road is a semi-detached house in Alum Rock, Birmingham, Birmingham (B8 3AY). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2007 — that's 19 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 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £234,000 sits 80% above the 2007 sale of £130,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
