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 £426,000 sits 52.1% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 24.7% 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).

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 249 Highfield Road is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 0BT. 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 249 Highfield 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 249 Highfield Road was lodged in March 2009 at band E and expired in March 2019, 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. 2 applications are matched to 249 Highfield 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 41 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B28 0BT, not by walking route.
Council tax band
249 Highfield Road is in council tax band E. 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.
