About 5 Bigwood Drive
5 Bigwood Drive is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sutton Coldfield (B75 7PT). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2004–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 sits 100% above the 2008 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 15.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
