About 68 Station Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
68 Station Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Harborne, Birmingham, Birmingham (B17 9LX). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in October 2000. 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 £500,000 sits 163.2% above the 2000 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 63.8% below the postcode norm. At 193 m² it's 28% larger than the typical home in the postcode (151 m² median across 22 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 68 Station Road is modelled from its 193 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 9LX. 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 68 Station 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 68 Station Road was lodged in December 2012 at band E and expired in December 2022, 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. None is matched to 68 Station 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 40 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 9LX, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 68 Station 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.
