About 1 Southam Road
1 Southam Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 8DG). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1299 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 121 m² it's 19.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (150 m² median across 15 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 is 40.4% above the 2009 sale price.
