Overview

About 5 Thornhill Grove

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

5 Thornhill Grove is an end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 9DB). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 291.4% above the 2004 sale of £35,000.

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 5 Thornhill Grove is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 9DB. 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 5 Thornhill Grove. 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 5 Thornhill Grove was lodged in October 2014 at band E and expired in October 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 5 Thornhill Grove. 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 63 schools and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 9DB, not by walking route.
Council tax band
5 Thornhill Grove 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.
