About 282 Birmingham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
282 Birmingham Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2012.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

- The estimate for 282 Birmingham Road is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1DP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 282 Birmingham Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
