Overview

About 23 Griffin Gardens

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

23 Griffin Gardens is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 0HU). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 39 m² this is the 5th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 23.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£264/sq ft) was about 52.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 39 m² it's 25% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (52 m² median across 27 EPCs).

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 23 Griffin Gardens is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0HU. 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 23 Griffin Gardens. 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 23 Griffin Gardens was lodged in November 2018 at band C and is valid until November 2028. 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 23 Griffin Gardens. 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 34 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0HU, not by walking route.
Council tax band
23 Griffin Gardens 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.
