How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5a is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS1 3AU. 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.

About 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is a four-bedroom detached house in Walsall (WS1 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
Across 2012–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 is 16.4% below the 2025 sale of £525,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£343/sq ft) was about 112.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer was October 2025 at £525,000 — fresh data. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5a is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS1 3AU. 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 5a. 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 5a was lodged in June 2025 at band D and is valid until June 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5a. 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 33 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS1 3AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5a 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.
