Overview

About 118 Penns Lane

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

118 Penns Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1BL). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 83 m² it sits well below the postcode median (139 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.2% per year.
