Overview

About 168a

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

168a is a five-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 194 m² (around 2088 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 194 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £619,000 sits 70.1% above the 2009 sale of £364,000.
