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 £782,000 is 22.2% 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.
