Overview

About 234 Highfield Road

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

234 Highfield Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hall Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B28 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2009–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 is 34.6% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 31% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 12 years since the last transfer (May 2014). At 91 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 14 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 234 Highfield Road is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 0DW. 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 234 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 234 Highfield Road was lodged in January 2014 at band D and expired in January 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 234 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 0DW, not by walking route.
Council tax band
234 Highfield 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.
