About 4 The Gables
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 The Gables is a three-bedroom detached house in Polesworth, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 sits 79.9% above the 2015 sale of £164,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 38% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in March 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.

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 4 The Gables is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B78 1DD. 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 4 The Gables. 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 4 The Gables was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 2025, 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 4 The Gables. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B78 1DD, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 4 The Gables 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.
