Overview

About Chestnut House

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

Chestnut House is a five-bedroom detached house in Lapworth, Solihull, Solihull (B94 5QS). It has a recorded floor area of 248 m² (around 2669 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band H. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,522,000 is 35.2% below the 2023 sale of £2,350,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£880/sq ft) was about 269.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 248 m² it's 27.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (195 m² median across 11 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: August 2023 at £2,350,000.

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 Chestnut House is modelled from its 248 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for Chestnut 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 Chestnut House was lodged in March 2015 at band C and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to Chestnut 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
Chestnut House is in council tax band H. 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.
