Overview

About 65 Dorchester Road

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

65 Dorchester Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Solihull (B91 1LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Across 2002–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £630,000 is 42.4% above the 2012 sale price.
