About 18 Vivian Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Vivian Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B17 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 42.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£259/sq ft) was about 188% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.

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 18 Vivian Road is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0DS. 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 18 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 18 Vivian Road was lodged in May 2014 at band E and expired in May 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 18 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 36 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0DS, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 18 Vivian Road is in council tax band C. 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.
