Overview

About 21b

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

21b is a five-bedroom detached house in Barnt Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B45 8NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 580 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. At 54 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (54–213 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 17 units on file. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (152 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £887,000 is 36.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,122/sq ft) was about 331.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in August 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

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 21b is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B45 8NZ. 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 21b. 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 21b was lodged in March 2010 at band D and expired in March 2020, 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. 3 applications are matched to 21b. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B45 8NZ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
21b is in council tax band E. 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.
