Overview

About 8 Earlswood Drive

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

8 Earlswood Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 2NG). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £468,000 sits 95% above the 2010 sale of £240,000.
