About 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a detached house in Solihull (B91 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. At 52 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (52–283 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2018) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump.
Today's modelled estimate of £508,000 is 48.9% below the 2024 sale of £995,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,778/sq ft) was about 477.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (237 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold January 2024 for £995,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B91 1AE. 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 1a. 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 1a was lodged in January 2018 at band F and is valid until January 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 1a. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 28 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B91 1AE, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1a is in council tax band H. 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.
