About 8 Blackroot Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Blackroot Road is a six-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 2QH). It has a recorded floor area of 236 m² (around 2540 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £896,000 sits 107.2% above the 2011 sale of £432,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 35.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. On the market in October 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.

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 8 Blackroot Road is modelled from its 236 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Blackroot 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 8 Blackroot Road was lodged in July 2012 at band E and expired in July 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Blackroot 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 19 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B74 2QH, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 8 Blackroot Road 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.
