7 Barron Road, Birmingham, B31 2ER

7 Barron Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B31 2ER). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. 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: 5.4% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 sits 90.4% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 18% below the postcode norm. At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
