About 43 Margaret Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
43 Margaret Grove is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B17 9JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £606,000 is 18.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£405/sq ft) was about 69.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £510,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 43 Margaret Grove is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 9JJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 43 Margaret 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 43 Margaret Grove was lodged in January 2016 at band E and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 43 Margaret Grove. 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 41 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 9JJ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 43 Margaret Grove 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.
