16 Blakesley Close, Sutton Coldfield, B76 1EF

16 Blakesley Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sutton Coldfield (B76 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 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. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 17.1% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £343,000 sits 75.9% above the 2007 sale of £195,000.
