Overview

About 8 Cardinal Close

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

8 Cardinal Close is a detached house in Birmingham (B17 8EU). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £675,000 is 25.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 38.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Cardinal Close is modelled from its 165 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 8EU. 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 8 Cardinal Close. 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 8 Cardinal Close was lodged in January 2012 at band C and expired in January 2022, 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. None is matched to 8 Cardinal Close. 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 53 schools and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 8EU, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Cardinal Close is in council tax band G. 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.
