Overview

About 4 Fossil Drive

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

4 Fossil Drive is a semi-detached house in Rednal, Birmingham, Birmingham (B45 9PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 987 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 sits 66.2% above the 2009 sale of £139,000.

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 4 Fossil Drive is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B45 9PJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4 Fossil 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 4 Fossil Drive was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 2019, 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 4 Fossil 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 21 schools and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B45 9PJ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
4 Fossil Drive is in council tax band C. 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.
