Overview

About 7 Gentleshaw Lane

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

7 Gentleshaw Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Solihull (B91 2SS). It has a recorded floor area of 217 m² (around 2336 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 217 m² the property is well over the postcode median (155 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £737,000 is 15.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 46.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold July 2021 for £640,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 7 Gentleshaw Lane is modelled from its 217 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B91 2SS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Gentleshaw Lane. 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 7 Gentleshaw Lane was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 7 Gentleshaw Lane. 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 17 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B91 2SS, not by walking route.
Council tax band
7 Gentleshaw Lane is in council tax band G. 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.
