Overview

About Willow House

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

Willow House is a one-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 461 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. At 43 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Willow House (43–91 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (83 versus a worst of 72). The latest certificate (February 2009) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (91 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 is 17.8% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 16% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Willow House is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1DJ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Willow House. 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 Willow House was lodged in February 2009 at band B and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Willow House. 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 34 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B72 1DJ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Willow House is in council tax band C. 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.
