About 8 Carlton Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Carlton Avenue is a detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 3JF). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in December 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £690,000 sits 200% above the 2000 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 44% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 179 m² it's 17% larger than the typical home in the postcode (153 m² median across 9 EPCs).

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 Carlton Avenue is modelled from its 179 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B74 3JF. 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 Carlton Avenue. 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 Carlton Avenue was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 Carlton Avenue. 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 14 schools and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B74 3JF, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 8 Carlton Avenue is in council tax band F. 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.
