Overview

About 252 Highfield Road

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

252 Highfield Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Hall Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B28 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 239 m² (around 2573 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 252 Highfield Road is modelled from its 239 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 252 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 252 Highfield Road was lodged in December 2014 at band E and expired in December 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. None is matched to 252 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
252 Highfield Road is in council tax band F. 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.
