About The Pigeon Barn
The Pigeon Barn is a semi-detached house in Earlswood, Solihull, Solihull (B94 5ES). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £688,000 is 34.9% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£348/sq ft) was about 36.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
