About 1 Victoria Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Victoria Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 0AG). It has a recorded floor area of 221 m² (around 2379 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 221 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 5 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in August 2014. Today's modelled estimate of £882,000 is 46.8% above the 2014 sale price.

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 1 Victoria Road is modelled from its 221 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0AG. 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 1 Victoria Road. 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 1 Victoria Road was lodged in February 2014 at band F and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Victoria Road. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0AG, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 Victoria Road is in council tax band B. 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.
