Overview

About 23 Uplands Road

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

23 Uplands Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 8BU). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 44.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 sits 77.3% above the 2009 sale of £88,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 29.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
