Overview

About 48 Rookery Road

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

48 Rookery Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 9NB). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 7 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 sits 55.1% above the 2013 sale of £107,000. 13 years since the last transfer (March 2013).

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 48 Rookery Road is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 9NB. 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 48 Rookery 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 48 Rookery Road was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 7 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 48 Rookery 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 54 schools and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 9NB, not by walking route.
Council tax band
48 Rookery 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.
