About 1 Fifth Avenue
1 Fifth Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 5RB). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
