Overview

About 137 Southam Road

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

137 Southam Road is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–1996, sale prices on this property compounded at 76.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £389,000 sits 451.8% above the 1996 sale of £70,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 79.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 137 Southam Road is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for 137 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 137 Southam Road was lodged in May 2015 at band D and expired in May 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. 1 application is matched to 137 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
137 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.
