Overview

About 6 Blacksmiths Lane

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

6 Blacksmiths Lane is a semi-detached house in Hockley Heath, Solihull, Solihull (B94 6QP). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £401,000 sits 76.7% above the 2009 sale of £227,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 39.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6 Blacksmiths Lane is modelled from its 139 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B94 6QP. 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 6 Blacksmiths Lane. 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 6 Blacksmiths Lane was lodged in August 2009 at band E and expired in August 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 6 Blacksmiths Lane. 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 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B94 6QP, not by walking route.
Council tax band
6 Blacksmiths Lane is in council tax band D. 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.
