About 15 York Road

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

15 York Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 9EB). 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.

Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

Method

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 15 York Road is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 9EB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 15 York 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 15 York Road was lodged in March 2021 at band D and is valid until March 2031. 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 15 York 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 63 schools and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 9EB, not by walking route.
Council tax band
15 York 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.
