How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7a is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B45 9NA. 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.

About 7a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rednal, Birmingham, Birmingham (B45 9NA). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the 4th smallest of 44 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1997–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 105.3% above the 2003 sale of £57,000. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow 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 7a is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B45 9NA. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 7a. 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 7a was lodged in November 2012 at band E and expired in November 2022, 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 7a. 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 19 schools and 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B45 9NA, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 7a 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.
