About 1 Princes Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Princes Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS1 2PH). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (114 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 12 years since the last transfer (October 2014). Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 is 28.8% above the 2014 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Princes Avenue is modelled from its 162 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS1 2PH. 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 Princes Avenue. 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 1 Princes Avenue was lodged in December 2014 at band E and expired in December 2024, 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 1 Princes Avenue. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS1 2PH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Princes Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
