About 12 Durlston Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Durlston Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B28 8QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 59 m² it's 19.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in December 2016. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 is 45.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£250/sq ft) was about 48.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 12 Durlston Grove is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B28 8QJ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 12 Durlston Grove. 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 12 Durlston Grove was lodged in July 2016 at band E and expired in July 2026, 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 12 Durlston Grove. 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 43 schools and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B28 8QJ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 12 Durlston Grove 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.
