Overview

About 78 Victoria Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

78 Victoria Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 0AE). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a loft. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 67.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £325,350 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
