About 7 Ambergate Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Ambergate Close is a semi-detached house in Walsall (WS3 3RH). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2004–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 132.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 64.2% above the 2005 sale of £139,500. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).

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 Ambergate Close is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 3RH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Ambergate Close. 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 Ambergate Close was lodged in June 2014 at band E and expired in June 2024, 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. None is matched to 7 Ambergate Close. 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 26 schools and 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS3 3RH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Ambergate Close is in council tax band C. 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.
