About 23 Birch Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Birch Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sutton Coldfield (B76 2PF). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 57.7% above the 2007 sale of £163,000. At 60 m² it's 15.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 26 EPCs). 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.

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 23 Birch Close is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B76 2PF. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 23 Birch Close. 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 23 Birch Close was lodged in December 2011 at band D and expired in December 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 23 Birch Close. 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 21 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B76 2PF, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 23 Birch Close is in council tax band C. 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.
