Overview

About Apartment 5

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

Apartment 5 is a two-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 2RP). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 61 m² this is the 4th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–84 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (48 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (January 2021) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62).

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £276,000 is 17.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 21.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Apartment 5 is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B74 2RP. 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 Apartment 5. 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 Apartment 5 was lodged in January 2021 at band E and is valid until January 2031. 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 Apartment 5. 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 21 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B74 2RP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Apartment 5 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.
