About 62a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
62a is a four-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £473,000 is 33.2% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 63.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 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 62a is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1BD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 62a. 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 62a was lodged in January 2017 at band E and is valid until January 2027. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 62a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B72 1BD, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 62a is in council tax band E. 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.
