Overview

About 197 Holyhead Road

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

197 Holyhead Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 0AS). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor 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 February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 sits 90.1% above the 2010 sale of £91,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 45.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
