Overview

About 21 Douglas Road

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

21 Douglas Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 9HG). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1135 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 16.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£113/sq ft) was about 67% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 21 Douglas Road is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 9HG. 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 21 Douglas 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 21 Douglas Road was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 21 Douglas 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 58 schools and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 9HG, not by walking route.
Council tax band
21 Douglas 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.
