Overview

About 12 Dorset Road

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

12 Dorset Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B17 8EN). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1104 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 12 Dorset Road is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 8EN. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 12 Dorset 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 12 Dorset Road was lodged in March 2011 at band D and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 12 Dorset 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 54 schools and 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 8EN, not by walking route.
Council tax band
12 Dorset Road 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.
