About 8 Blackdown Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Blackdown Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rednal, Birmingham, Birmingham (B45 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A.

The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 8 Blackdown Close is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B45 0DL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Blackdown Close. 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 8 Blackdown Close was lodged in March 2014 at band C and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Blackdown Close. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B45 0DL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 8 Blackdown Close is in council tax band A. 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.
