Overview

About 1 Alston Close

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

1 Alston Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 2XZ). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £690,000 sits 60.5% above the 2013 sale of £430,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 19.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 1 Alston Close is modelled from its 171 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B74 2XZ. 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 1 Alston Close. 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 1 Alston Close was lodged in April 2013 at band E and expired in April 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. None is matched to 1 Alston Close. 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 11 schools and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B74 2XZ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 Alston Close 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.
