Get started161 Chester Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B73 5BB). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 is 33.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2025. Sold September 2021 for £227,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
