Overview

About Elmley Lodge

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

Elmley Lodge is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 0BB). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 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. Period features are noted in the property record. At 93 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Elmley Lodge (54–93 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 93 m² it's 27.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 15 EPCs). Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. Last sale on file: £268,000 in May 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Elmley Lodge is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0BB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Elmley Lodge. 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 Elmley Lodge was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, 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. 3 applications are matched to Elmley Lodge. 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 40 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0BB, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Elmley Lodge 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.
