About 125 Cole Valley Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
125 Cole Valley Road is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 sits 117.3% above the 2004 sale of £162,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 22.9% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 125 Cole Valley Road is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 0DG. 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 125 Cole Valley 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 125 Cole Valley Road was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, 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. 3 applications are matched to 125 Cole Valley 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 53 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B28 0DG, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 125 Cole Valley 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.
