About 1 Lower Queen Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Lower Queen Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1RT). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2024) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 51 m² this is the 11th smallest of 50 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–136 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 50 units on file. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 52.2% above the 2009 sale of £90,000. At 51 m² it's 25% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (68 m² median across 49 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.

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 Lower Queen Street is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1RT. 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 Lower Queen Street. 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 1 Lower Queen Street was lodged in January 2024 at band C and is valid until January 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Lower Queen Street. 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 22 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B72 1RT, not by walking route.

- 1 Lower Queen Street is in council tax band C. 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.
