6 Driffold, Sutton Coldfield, B73 6HE

6 Driffold is a four-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B73 6HE). It has a recorded floor area of 169 m² (around 1819 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings.

Held since February 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £910,000 is 30.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£382/sq ft) was about 57.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 169 m² it's 18% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (206 m² median across 11 EPCs).
