Overview

About 4 Cropthorne Gardens

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

4 Cropthorne Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shirley, Solihull, Solihull (B90 3FD). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2011.
