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 19 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 £182,000 is 45.6% 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 279 Holyhead Road is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 0AP. 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 279 Holyhead 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 279 Holyhead Road was lodged in October 2016 at band D and expired in October 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. None is matched to 279 Holyhead 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 47 schools and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 0AP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
279 Holyhead Road is in council tax band A. 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.
