About Cherry Lynn
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Cherry Lynn is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Earlswood, Solihull, Solihull (B94 5JX). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe.
At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £764,000 is 36.9% above the 2016 sale price.

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 Cherry Lynn is modelled from its 186 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B94 5JX. 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. 5 sales are recorded for Cherry Lynn. 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 Cherry Lynn was lodged in May 2016 at band E and expired in May 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. None is matched to Cherry Lynn. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B94 5JX, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- Cherry Lynn is in council tax band F. 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.
