Overview

About 7 Old Church Road

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

7 Old Church Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 0BB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (January 2018) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.

3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2012–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 is 14.3% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£375/sq ft) was about 60.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold October 2022 for £315,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
