About 38 Fourth Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Fourth Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, Birmingham (B9 5RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 104 m² it's 15.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 38 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 sits 56.8% above the 2008 sale of £125,000.

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 38 Fourth Avenue is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B9 5RQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 38 Fourth 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 38 Fourth Avenue was lodged in September 2016 at band F and expired in September 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 63 schools and 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B9 5RQ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 38 Fourth Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
