Overview

About 131 Southam Road

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

131 Southam Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B28 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 187 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 sits 89% above the 2010 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 43.3% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 131 Southam Road is modelled from its 187 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 0AB. 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 131 Southam 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 131 Southam Road was lodged in September 2014 at band D and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 131 Southam 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 49 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B28 0AB, not by walking route.
Council tax band
131 Southam 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.
