About 8 Belwell Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Belwell Lane is a detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 4AB). It has a recorded floor area of 284 m² (around 3057 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2010–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 20.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,099,000 sits 54.8% above the 2013 sale of £710,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
