How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Oak Crescent is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 1BQ. 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 7 Oak Crescent
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Oak Crescent is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS3 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 854 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 sits 101.5% above the 2015 sale of £79,900. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 18.2% below the postcode norm. At 79 m² it's 18.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 32 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 11 years ago, in November 2015.

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 7 Oak Crescent is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 1BQ. 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 7 Oak Crescent. 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 7 Oak Crescent was lodged in March 2012 at band E and expired in March 2022, 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 7 Oak Crescent. 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 43 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS3 1BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Oak Crescent 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.
