Overview

About 5 Bracken Drive

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

5 Bracken Drive is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sutton Coldfield (B75 7RF). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 sits 66.8% above the 2015 sale of £184,000.
