About 21 Fordrough Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Fordrough Avenue is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B9 5LF). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.
It hasn't traded since April 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £258,000 sits 1379.5% above the 2001 sale of £17,438. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£12/sq ft) was about 86.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. 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 21 Fordrough Avenue is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B9 5LF. 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 21 Fordrough Avenue. 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 21 Fordrough Avenue was lodged in December 2025 at band C and is valid until December 2035. 5 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 21 Fordrough Avenue. 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 67 schools and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B9 5LF, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 21 Fordrough Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
