About 27 Duncombe Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
27 Duncombe Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B17 8SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (107 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £583,000 sits 302.1% above the 1999 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 68.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, 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 27 Duncombe Grove is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 8SJ. 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 27 Duncombe Grove. 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 27 Duncombe Grove was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records

- 27 Duncombe Grove is in council tax band F. 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.
