About 357 Birmingham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
357 Birmingham Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in July 1997. 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 £619,000 sits 379.8% above the 1997 sale of £129,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 63.9% below the postcode norm.

- 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 357 Birmingham Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
