About 17 Gray Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Gray Street is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B9 4LS). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 sits 64% above the 2004 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 30.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 17 Gray Street is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B9 4LS. 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 17 Gray Street. 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 17 Gray Street was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17 Gray Street. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 75 schools and 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B9 4LS, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 17 Gray Street is in council tax band B. 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.
