About 1 Kingswood Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Kingswood Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lapworth, Solihull, Solihull (B94 6LX). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£583/sq ft) was about 115.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it's 16.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 13 EPCs). Last sale on file: £320,000 in April 2022.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Kingswood Cottage is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B94 6LX. 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 1 Kingswood Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
