Overview

About 161 Colonial Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

161 Colonial Road is a mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 5NP). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1997, a hold of 29 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. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 434.3% above the 1997 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 64.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
