Overview

About 4 Highbury Avenue

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

4 Highbury Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 9DA). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 30.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 is 40% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 50.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
