About 5 Norton Crescent
5 Norton Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B9 5TB). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 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. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 sits 65.8% above the 2008 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 46.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
