How the estimate is made
The estimate for 19a is modelled from its 17 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 8EB. 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.

About 19a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
19a is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B17 8EB). It has a recorded floor area of 17 m² (around 183 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 17 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (17–289 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 17 m² it sits well below the postcode median (233 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs).

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 19a is modelled from its 17 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 8EB. 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. No sale is recorded for 19a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 19a was lodged in April 2026 at band C and is valid until April 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 19a. 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 50 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 8EB, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 19a 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.
