35 Alston Road, Birmingham, B9 5UN

35 Alston Road is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B9 5UN). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since May 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. At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 sits 54% above the 2008 sale of £150,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
