How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Marlin is modelled from its 199 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B77 1LW. 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.

About 1 Marlin
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Marlin is a four-bedroom detached house in Dosthill, Tamworth, Tamworth (B77 1LW). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2142 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since December 1998, a hold of 28 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. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 sits 1222.4% above the 1998 sale of £32,062. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£15/sq ft) was about 92.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Marlin is modelled from its 199 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B77 1LW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Marlin. 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 1 Marlin was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Marlin. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B77 1LW, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 Marlin is in council tax band D. 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.
