Overview

About 5 Boswell Road

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

5 Boswell Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 2NB). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 sits 54% above the 2008 sale of £278,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 123 m² it's 16.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (147 m² median across 7 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Boswell Road is modelled from its 123 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 5 Boswell Road. 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 5 Boswell Road was lodged in April 2014 at band E and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 5 Boswell Road. 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
5 Boswell Road 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.
