8 Ronald Road, Birmingham, B9 4UL

8 Ronald Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 4UL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, 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. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 38.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 49.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
