About 5 Alexandra Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Alexandra Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS1 4DX). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 sits 115% above the 2010 sale of £80,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).

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 5 Alexandra Road is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS1 4DX. 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 5 Alexandra Road. 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 Alexandra Road was lodged in November 2014 at band E and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 Alexandra Road. 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 45 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS1 4DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Alexandra Road is in council tax band A. 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.
