How the estimate is made
The estimate for 52 Chestnut Road is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 1BE. 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 52 Chestnut Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
52 Chestnut Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS3 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 91 m² it's 26.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 23 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 is 23.1% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 22.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold July 2022 for £147,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 52 Chestnut Road is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 1BE. 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 52 Chestnut 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 52 Chestnut Road was lodged in October 2013 at band E and expired in October 2023, 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. None is matched to 52 Chestnut 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 1BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 52 Chestnut Road is in council tax band B. 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.
