Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 55 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (55–55 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (45 versus a best of 64). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On the market in April 2018 and unlisted since — roughly 8 years. At 55 m² it's 27.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 26 EPCs). Across 2008–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 18.5% above the 2018 sale price.

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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0BN. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in October 2013 at band E and expired in October 2023, 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. None is matched to Flat 1. 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 35 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0BN, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Flat 1 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.
