Overview

About 31 York Road

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

31 York Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 9EB). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £183,000 is 49.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 79.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
