Overview

About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Wishaw, Sutton Coldfield, Sutton Coldfield (B76 9QE). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil.

At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £702,000 sits 71.2% above the 2012 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 32.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in June 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Cottage is modelled from its 159 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B76 9QE. 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 The Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for The Cottage was lodged in May 2025 at band D and is valid until May 2035. 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 The Cottage. 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 10 schools and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B76 9QE, not by walking route.
Council tax band
The Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
