About 5 Kingston Row
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Kingston Row is a two-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B1 2NU). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since April 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 50.3% above the 2010 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 50.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Kingston Row is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B1 2NU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Kingston Row. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Kingston Row was lodged in December 2022 at band E and is valid until December 2032. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 5 Kingston Row. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 62 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B1 2NU, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5 Kingston Row is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
