308 Birmingham Road, Sutton Coldfield, B72 1DP

308 Birmingham Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since May 1996 — that's 30 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. At 170 m² the property is well over the postcode median (127 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £602,000 sits 401.7% above the 1996 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 75.9% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
