Overview

About 18 Avenue Road

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

18 Avenue Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 8ED). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in February 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 sits 110.2% above the 2009 sale of £78,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm.

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 18 Avenue Road is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 8ED. 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 18 Avenue 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 18 Avenue Road was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 2036. 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 18 Avenue 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 43 schools and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 8ED, not by walking route.
Council tax band
18 Avenue 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.
