About 1 Amble Close
1 Amble Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 2FP). It has a recorded floor area of 240 m² (around 2583 sq ft) and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (April 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in June 2010. At 240 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £902,000 sits 125.5% above the 2010 sale of £399,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 37.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
