About 42 Grosvenor Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
42 Grosvenor Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 9AN). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £455,000 sits 62.5% above the 2015 sale of £280,000. Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 42 Grosvenor Road is modelled from its 151 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 9AN. 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 42 Grosvenor 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 42 Grosvenor Road was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, 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 42 Grosvenor 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 43 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from B17 9AN, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 42 Grosvenor Road 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.
