About 1 Blake Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Blake Lane is an end-of-terrace house in Birmingham (B9 5QT). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2020 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.
Across 2020–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 29.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £241,000 is 66.8% below the 2022 sale of £725,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£629/sq ft) was about 524.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 107 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: HMO conversion refused in 2025. Most recent transfer: January 2022 at £725,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
