Overview

About Oakhurst Grange

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

Oakhurst Grange is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 37 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Oakhurst Grange (37–63 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (55 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 sits 63.5% above the 2016 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£213/sq ft) was about 19.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (160 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

Method

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 Oakhurst Grange is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1DL. 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. 6 sales are recorded for Oakhurst Grange. 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 Oakhurst Grange was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, 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. None is matched to Oakhurst Grange. 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 1DL, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Oakhurst Grange is in council tax band B. 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.
