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. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 is 45.3% above the 2008 sale price.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Cropthorne Gardens is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B90 3FD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Cropthorne Gardens. 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 4 Cropthorne Gardens was lodged in May 2021 at band C and is valid until May 2031. 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 4 Cropthorne Gardens. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B90 3FD, not by walking route.
Council tax band
4 Cropthorne Gardens is in council tax band D. 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.
