About 150 Poplar Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
150 Poplar Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 8ER). It has a recorded floor area of 245 m² (around 2637 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 245 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £529,000 is 32.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 39.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold August 2021 for £400,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 150 Poplar Avenue is modelled from its 245 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 8ER. 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 150 Poplar Avenue. 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 150 Poplar Avenue was lodged in June 2016 at band E and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 150 Poplar Avenue. 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 52 schools and 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 8ER, not by walking route.

- 150 Poplar Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
