Overview

About Wee Cottage

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

Wee Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Lapworth, Solihull, Solihull (B94 5NR). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 693 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 sits 51.9% above the 2009 sale of £237,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 24.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Wee Cottage is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B94 5NR. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Wee 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 Wee Cottage was lodged in December 2008 at band E and expired in December 2018, 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. 2 applications are matched to Wee 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 1 school and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B94 5NR, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Wee Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
