Overview

About 49 Colonial Road

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

49 Colonial Road is a mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 5NR). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 sits 124.9% above the 2009 sale of £86,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 28.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
