Held since June 2008 — that's 18 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. Sale prices here have outpaced Birmingham HPI: 8.2% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £835,000 sits 75.8% above the 2008 sale of £475,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 45.1% below the postcode norm. At 384 m² the property is well over the postcode median (155 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
