Overview

About 18 Arnold Road

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

18 Arnold Road is a semi-detached house in Shirley, Solihull, Solihull (B90 3JP). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 100 m² it's 15.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 30 EPCs). Across 2015–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£344/sq ft) was about 43.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £370,000 in February 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
