About 17 Laburnum Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Laburnum Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kingsbury, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 2JH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 410.1% above the 1998 sale of £51,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 77.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, 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 17 Laburnum Close is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B78 2JH. 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 17 Laburnum 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 17 Laburnum Close was lodged in October 2011 at band C and expired in October 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. 1 application is matched to 17 Laburnum 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B78 2JH, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 17 Laburnum Close is in council tax band B. 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.
