Overview

About Willow House

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

Willow House is a detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. At 91 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Willow House (43–91 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since March 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 sits 55.4% above the 1999 sale of £197,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 25.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 91 m² it's 18.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 7 EPCs).
