About 25 Oakwood Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
25 Oakwood Road is a semi-detached house in Walsall (WS3 1AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last sale on file: £155,000 in March 2022. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 84 m² it's 18.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 21 EPCs). Across 2014–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 is 25.2% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 89.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 25 Oakwood Road is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 1AZ. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 25 Oakwood 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 25 Oakwood Road was lodged in January 2015 at band D and expired in January 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 25 Oakwood 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 39 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS3 1AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 25 Oakwood 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.
