About 13 Alston Grove
13 Alston Grove is a mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 5SB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump.
