9 Blackberry Lane, Sutton Coldfield, B74 4JE

9 Blackberry Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B74 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1290 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 61.1% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 21.7% below the postcode norm.
