About 1 Arcot Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Arcot Road is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 8LY). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £269,000 sits 108.1% above the 2003 sale of £129,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 43.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Arcot Road is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 8LY. 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 1 Arcot 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 1 Arcot Road was lodged in June 2014 at band E and expired in June 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 1 Arcot 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 51 schools and 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B28 8LY, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 Arcot Road is in council tax band B. 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.
