About Oakhurst Grange

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

Oakhurst Grange is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. At 41 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in Oakhurst Grange, where floor areas span 37–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 91.4% above the 2016 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 23.3% below the postcode norm. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (160 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
