About 5 Cross Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Cross Street is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Tamworth (B79 7EH). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

The latest certificate (May 2025) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in September 1999. Across 1999–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 67.5% per year.

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 5 Cross Street is modelled from its 34 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B79 7EH. 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 5 Cross Street. 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 5 Cross Street was lodged in May 2025 at band E 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 5 Cross Street. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B79 7EH, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5 Cross Street is in council tax band A. 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.
