About 7 Emerson Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Emerson Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B17 9LT). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Today's modelled estimate of £643,000 sits 55.9% above the 2013 sale of £412,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 15.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 7 Emerson Road is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 9LT. 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 7 Emerson 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 7 Emerson Road was lodged in March 2013 at band E and expired in March 2023, 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. 3 applications are matched to 7 Emerson 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 39 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 9LT, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 7 Emerson Road is in council tax band E. 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.
