Overview

About Cleeve Cottage

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

Cleeve Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Earlswood, Solihull, Solihull (B94 5JX). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£322/sq ft) was about 41.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in December 2016.

Method

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 Cleeve Cottage is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 3 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. 3 sales are recorded for Cleeve Cottage. 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 Cleeve Cottage was lodged in June 2016 at band E and expired in June 2026, 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. None is matched to Cleeve Cottage. 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
Cleeve Cottage is in council tax band E. 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.
