About 154 New Mills Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
154 New Mills Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Walsall (WS1 4LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 sits 58.5% above the 2017 sale of £106,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 180.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. At 71 m² it's 16.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 26 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 154 New Mills Street is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS1 4LQ. 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 154 New Mills 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 154 New Mills Street was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 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. 2 applications are matched to 154 New Mills 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 47 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS1 4LQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 154 New Mills Street 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.
