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.

About 169 Colonial Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
169 Colonial Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 5NP). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 sits 96.7% above the 2009 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm.
