1 Crown Road, Birmingham, B9 4TT

1 Crown Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 4TT). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 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 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 sits 88.5% above the 2008 sale of £94,950. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
