Overview

About 5 Watling Street

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

5 Watling Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hints, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 3DF). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 sits 51.1% above the 2014 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 25.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 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 5 Watling Street is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B78 3DF. 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 5 Watling Street. 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 5 Watling Street was lodged in December 2013 at band E and expired in December 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Watling Street. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B78 3DF, not by walking route.
Council tax band
5 Watling Street is in council tax band C. 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.
