About Catesby House
Catesby House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Lapworth, Solihull, Solihull (B94 5QS). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. At 151 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Catesby House, where floor areas span 73–217 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (43 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 151 m² it sits well below the postcode median (217 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 is 15.6% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 16.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
