Overview

About 52 Wiseacre Croft

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

52 Wiseacre Croft is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shirley, Solihull, Solihull (B90 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.

Across 1995–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 50% above the 2017 sale of £202,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 48.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in January 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 64 m² it's 15.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 25 EPCs).
