Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B76 1AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 sits 267.6% above the 1996 sale of £89,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 52.4% below the postcode norm.
