Overview

About 16 Vicarage Road

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

16 Vicarage Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 0SP). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. At 26 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (26–162 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 sits 168.5% above the 1996 sale of £92,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£329/sq ft) was about 41.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 26 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 16 Vicarage Road is modelled from its 26 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 0SP. 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 16 Vicarage 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 16 Vicarage Road was lodged in July 2016 at band C and expired in July 2026, 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. 2 applications are matched to 16 Vicarage 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 39 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 0SP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
16 Vicarage Road is in council tax band E. 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.
