About 23 Knightlow Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Knightlow Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B17 8PS). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1524 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 142 m² it's 18.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (174 m² median across 5 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £703,000 sits 75.8% above the 2010 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£263/sq ft) was about 34.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 23 Knightlow Road is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 8PS. 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 23 Knightlow 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 23 Knightlow Road was lodged in January 2010 at band F and expired in January 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 23 Knightlow 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 46 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 8PS, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 23 Knightlow Road 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.
