About 69a
69a is a mid-terrace house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 233 m² (around 2508 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 233 m² the property is well over the postcode median (160 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £603,000 sits 141.2% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 61% below the postcode norm.
