About 13 Alston Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Alston Grove is a mid-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 5SB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 sits 62.5% above the 2015 sale of £104,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 111% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2015, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 13 Alston Grove is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B9 5SB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 13 Alston Grove. 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 13 Alston Grove was lodged in July 2015 at band F and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 51 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B9 5SB, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 13 Alston Grove 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.
