About 118 Vivian Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
118 Vivian Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B17 0DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 213 m² (around 2293 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 118 Vivian Road is modelled from its 213 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0DJ. 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 118 Vivian 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 118 Vivian Road was lodged in April 2012 at band F and expired in April 2022, 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 118 Vivian 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 35 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0DJ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 118 Vivian Road is in council tax band F. 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.
