About 4 Ethel Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Ethel Road is a seven-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B17 0EL). It has a recorded floor area of 230 m² (around 2476 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.
One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,151,000 is 48.5% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£313/sq ft) was about 24.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 4 Ethel Road is modelled from its 230 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0EL. 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 4 Ethel 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 4 Ethel Road was lodged in February 2013 at band F and expired in February 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. 1 application is matched to 4 Ethel 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 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0EL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 4 Ethel Road is in council tax band G. 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.
