Overview

About 17 Sorrel Drive

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

17 Sorrel Drive is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kingsbury, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 2PE). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in July 2004. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 sits 80.1% above the 2004 sale of £135,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 43.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Sorrel Drive is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B78 2PE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 17 Sorrel Drive. 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 Sorrel Drive was lodged in March 2013 at band D and expired in March 2023, 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 Sorrel Drive. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B78 2PE, not by walking route.
Council tax band
17 Sorrel Drive 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.
