Overview

About 21 Fordrough Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

21 Fordrough Avenue is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B9 5LF). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since April 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 1500% above the 2001 sale of £17,438. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£12/sq ft) was about 86.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
