Overview

About 20 Southam Road

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

20 Southam Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 8DG). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 sits 53.2% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. At 121 m² it's 19.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (150 m² median across 15 EPCs).
