Overview

About 2 Birch Drive

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

2 Birch Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B75 6HY). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2004–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 sits 67.3% above the 2013 sale of £182,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 20.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2019.
