About 18 Cole Bank Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Cole Bank Road is a detached house in Hall Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B28 8EX). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating 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 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 sits 67.9% above the 2008 sale of £249,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 3 refused.

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 18 Cole Bank Road is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 8EX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 18 Cole Bank Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

The latest one for 18 Cole Bank Road was lodged in November 2015 at band E and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- 18 Cole Bank Road 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.
