41 Ludlow Road, Birmingham, B8 3BN

41 Ludlow Road is a mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B8 3BN). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 70% above the 2008 sale of £100,000.
