How the estimate is made
The estimate for 38 Archer Road is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 1AN. 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 38 Archer Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Archer Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS3 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since September 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 38 Archer Road is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 1AN. 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 38 Archer 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 38 Archer Road was lodged in January 2016 at band D and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 38 Archer 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 41 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS3 1AN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Archer 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.
