About Walnut Tree Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Walnut Tree Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £533,000 sits 57.7% above the 2009 sale of £338,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 25.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 126 m² it's 22.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (163 m² median across 7 EPCs).

- 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 Walnut Tree Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
