About 16 Lakeside
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Lakeside is a semi-detached house in Little Aston, Sutton Coldfield, Sutton Coldfield (B74 3BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1381 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. At 128 m² this is the 12th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 107–486 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (57 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 is 31% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£243/sq ft) was about 17.1% below the postcode norm.

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 16 Lakeside is modelled from its 128 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B74 3BJ. 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 16 Lakeside. 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 16 Lakeside was lodged in November 2008 at band D and expired in November 2018, 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 16 Lakeside. 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 10 schools and 16 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B74 3BJ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 16 Lakeside 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.
