About 16 Paradise Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Paradise Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B28 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 84 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2011–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£769/sq ft) was about 219.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2022 for £695,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 16 Paradise Lane is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 0DS. 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 16 Paradise Lane. 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 16 Paradise Lane was lodged in September 2013 at band E and expired in September 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 16 Paradise Lane. 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 40 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B28 0DS, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 16 Paradise Lane 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.
