About 1 Corncrake Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Corncrake Close is a detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1HY). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 1997 — that's 29 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 £436,000 sits 296.4% above the 1997 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 67.2% below the postcode norm. At 137 m² it's 26.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (108 m² median across 10 EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 3 refused.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Corncrake Close is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1HY. 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 1 Corncrake Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

The latest one for 1 Corncrake Close was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B72 1HY, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 Corncrake Close is in council tax band E. 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.
