Overview

About 157 Cole Valley Road

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

157 Cole Valley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 sits 385.3% above the 1996 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 58.1% below the postcode norm.
