About 28 Crosby Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
28 Crosby Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B1 2QB). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 sits 72.8% above the 2009 sale of £103,000. At 98 m² it's 16.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 27 EPCs).

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 28 Crosby Close is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B1 2QB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 28 Crosby Close. 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 28 Crosby Close was lodged in July 2013 at band D and expired in July 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 28 Crosby Close. 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 23 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B1 2QB, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 28 Crosby Close is in council tax band A. 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.
