Overview

About 262 Highfield Road

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

262 Highfield Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Hall Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B28 0DP). It has a recorded floor area of 295 m² (around 3175 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 295 m² the property is well over the postcode median (156 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2009–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £570,000 is 41.8% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 29.3% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in October 2012.

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 262 Highfield Road is modelled from its 295 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 0DP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 262 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 262 Highfield Road was lodged in June 2015 at band D and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 262 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 42 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B28 0DP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
262 Highfield Road is in council tax band D. 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.
