Overview

About 1 Highfield Close

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

1 Highfield Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B28 0BP). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 52.2% above the 2011 sale of £157,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£275/sq ft) was about 30.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it's 26.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (42 m² median across 8 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).

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 1 Highfield Close is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 0BP. 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 1 Highfield Close. 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 1 Highfield Close was lodged in April 2014 at band C and expired in April 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. None is matched to 1 Highfield Close. 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 40 schools and 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B28 0BP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 Highfield Close 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.
