About 343 Birmingham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
343 Birmingham Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Today's modelled estimate of £547,000 sits 51.9% above the 2014 sale of £360,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010.

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 343 Birmingham Road is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1DL. 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 343 Birmingham Road. 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 343 Birmingham Road was lodged in May 2014 at band E and expired in May 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. 1 application is matched to 343 Birmingham Road. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B72 1DL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 343 Birmingham Road 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.
