About 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 2NB). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2017) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since February 2006, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2001–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 29.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £400,000 sits 56.9% above the 2006 sale of £255,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£266/sq ft) was about 27.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (147 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1a is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B74 2NB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in June 2017 at band E and is valid until June 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1a. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B74 2NB, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1a is in council tax band D. 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.
