Overview

About 249 Highfield Road

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

249 Highfield Road is a semi-detached house in Hall Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B28 0BT). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1403 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 sits 57.9% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 33.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
