About 5 Colonial Road

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

5 Colonial Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 5NR). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since January 2014.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £201,000 sits 51.7% above the 2007 sale of £132,500.
