Overview

About 21 Kingswood Close

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

21 Kingswood Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Lapworth, Solihull, Solihull (B94 6JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since May 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £584,000 sits 159.6% above the 2009 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 38.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
