About 47 Follyhouse Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
47 Follyhouse Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS1 3EL). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 is 46.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 37.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.

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 47 Follyhouse Lane is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS1 3EL. 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 47 Follyhouse 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 47 Follyhouse Lane was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 47 Follyhouse 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS1 3EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 47 Follyhouse 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.
