Overview

About 1 Farcroft Avenue

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

1 Farcroft Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 78.9% above the 2014 sale of £95,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). On the market in February 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

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 1 Farcroft Avenue is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 8AA. 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 1 Farcroft Avenue. 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 1 Farcroft Avenue was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, 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 1 Farcroft Avenue. 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 51 schools and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 8AA, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 Farcroft Avenue 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.
