Overview

About 20a

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

20a is a four-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 2QH). It has a recorded floor area of 259 m² (around 2788 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 259 m² it's 15.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (224 m² median across 20 EPCs). Last changed hands 13 years ago, in May 2013. Across 2005–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,005,000 is 42.6% above the 2013 sale price.

How 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 20a is modelled from its 259 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B74 2QH. 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 20a. 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 20a was lodged in February 2013 at band D and expired in February 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 20a. 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 19 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B74 2QH, not by walking route.
Council tax band
20a is in council tax band G. 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.
