About 308 Birmingham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
308 Birmingham Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since May 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 170 m² the property is well over the postcode median (127 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £586,000 sits 388.3% above the 1996 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 75.9% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 308 Birmingham Road is modelled from its 170 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 308 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 308 Birmingham Road was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, 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. 2 applications are matched to 308 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 33 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B72 1DP, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 308 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.
