Overview

About 494 Kings Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

494 Kings Road is a mid-terrace house in Great Barr, Birmingham, Birmingham (B44 9JB). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in August 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 400% above the 1999 sale of £39,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 64.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
