Overview

About Catesby House

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

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 £472,000 is 28.1% 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.

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 Catesby House is modelled from its 151 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B94 5QS. 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 Catesby House. 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 Catesby House was lodged in August 2013 at band E and expired in August 2023, 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 Catesby House. 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 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B94 5QS, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Catesby House 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.
