Overview

About 5 Central Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Central Drive is a semi-detached house in Walsall (WS3 2QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 938 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 sits 148.1% above the 2009 sale of £66,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 38.3% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs).
