About 34a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34a is a five-bedroom detached house in Solihull (B91 3EY). It has a recorded floor area of 259 m² (around 2787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since November 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £1,417,000 sits 61.9% above the 2002 sale of £875,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 259 m² it's 23.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (210 m² median across 24 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 34a is modelled from its 259 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B91 3EY. 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 34a. 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 34a was lodged in September 2011 at band D and expired in September 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 34a. 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 18 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B91 3EY, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 34a 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.
