Overview

About Willow House

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

Willow House is a two-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels and an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 77 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Willow House, where floor areas span 43–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.

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 £214,000 is 33.7% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 28.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. At 77 m² it's 15.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 7 EPCs).

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 77 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 January 2020 at band C and is valid until January 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
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 D. 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.
