Overview

About 8 Kennedy Close

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

8 Kennedy Close is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B72 1SW). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 50 m² this is the 5th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 10 units on file.

Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 20.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£199/sq ft) was about 17.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Kennedy Close is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1SW. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Kennedy Close. 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 8 Kennedy Close was lodged in August 2022 at band D and is valid until August 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Kennedy Close. 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 21 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B72 1SW, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Kennedy Close is in council tax band B. 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.
