About Old School
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Old School is a detached house in Marston, Sutton Coldfield, Sutton Coldfield (B76 0DH). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor.

Today's modelled estimate of £508,000 is 19% below the 2014 sale of £627,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Old School is modelled from its 165 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B76 0DH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Old School. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Old School was lodged in March 2022 at band E and is valid until March 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Old School. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B76 0DH, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- Old School is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
