About 5 Minley Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Minley Avenue is a semi-detached house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 8RP). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £287,000 sits 298.6% above the 1998 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 59.7% below the postcode norm. At 73 m² it's 15.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 15 EPCs).

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Minley Avenue is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 8RP. 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 5 Minley Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
