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 £162,000 sits 84.1% above the 2009 sale of £88,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 20.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23 Uplands Road is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 8BU. 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 23 Uplands 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 23 Uplands Road was lodged in March 2023 at band D and is valid until March 2033. 4 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 23 Uplands 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 45 schools and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 8BU, not by walking route.
Council tax band
23 Uplands 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.
