Overview

About 279 Holyhead Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

279 Holyhead Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 0AP). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 is 38.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£113/sq ft) was about 78% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
