About 5 Elmfield Road
5 Elmfield Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B36 0HL). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since March 2007 — that's 19 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 83.1% above the 2007 sale of £172,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs).
