This home is in band A, which costs £1,575 a year in Birmingham for 2026/27. The band is from the agent's description, so check it before you rely on it.
Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Birmingham, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone. Check a home's band on GOV.UK.
