About 79 Station Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
79 Station Road is a mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 0HA). It has a recorded floor area of 181 m² (around 1948 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in August 2006. At 181 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

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 79 Station Road is modelled from its 181 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 0HA. 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 79 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

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 51 schools and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 0HA, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 79 Station 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.
