Overview

About 15 Ashmead Drive

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

15 Ashmead Drive is a semi-detached house in Cofton Hackett, Birmingham, Birmingham (B45 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £326,000 sits 417.5% above the 1996 sale of £63,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 76.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 Ashmead Drive is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B45 8AA. 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 15 Ashmead Drive. 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 15 Ashmead Drive was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 Ashmead Drive. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B45 8AA, not by walking route.
Council tax band
15 Ashmead Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
