Overview

About Ardendale

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

Ardendale is a two-bedroom detached house in Shirley, Solihull, Solihull (B90 4AW). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 81 m² this is the 8th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in Ardendale, where floor areas span 71–86 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 16 units on file.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 is 48.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 42.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Ardendale is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B90 4AW. 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 Ardendale. 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 Ardendale was lodged in May 2015 at band E and expired in May 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Ardendale. 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 25 schools and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B90 4AW, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Ardendale is in council tax band B. 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.
