How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8a is modelled from its 160 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B1 3LD. 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.

About 8a

8a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B1 3LD). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.
Across 2019–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 is 37.8% below the 2021 sale of £600,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 42 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Sold April 2021 for £600,000.

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 8a is modelled from its 160 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B1 3LD. 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 8a. 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 8a was lodged in February 2019 at band E and is valid until February 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8a. 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 65 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B1 3LD, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 8a is in council tax band D. 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.
