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 £476,000 sits 98.3% above the 2010 sale of £240,000.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Earlswood Drive is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B74 2NG. 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 8 Earlswood Drive. 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 8 Earlswood Drive was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Earlswood Drive. 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 2NG, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Earlswood Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
