Overview

About 15a

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

15a is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B17 0DB). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

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 15a is modelled from its 189 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0DB. 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 15a. 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 15a was lodged in June 2013 at band E and expired in June 2023, 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. None is matched to 15a. 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 36 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0DB, not by walking route.
Council tax band: 15a 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.
