How the estimate is made
The estimate for 137 Soho Road is modelled from its 315 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 9ST. 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.

About 137 Soho Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
137 Soho Road is a mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B21 9ST). It has a recorded floor area of 315 m² (around 3391 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 315 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (22–315 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 9 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 137 Soho Road is modelled from its 315 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B21 9ST. 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. No sale is recorded for 137 Soho Road, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 137 Soho Road was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, 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. 5 applications are matched to 137 Soho 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 61 schools and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B21 9ST, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 137 Soho Road is in council tax band C. 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.
