Ardendale is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shirley, Solihull, Solihull (B90 4AW). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 79 m² this is the 3rd 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.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 41.8% above the 2007 sale price.
