Overview

About 5 Cropthorne Road

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

5 Cropthorne Road is a semi-detached house in Shirley, Solihull, Solihull (B90 3JW). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 86 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 22 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 sits 70% above the 2013 sale of £200,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
