About 1 Belfry Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Belfry Close is a detached house in Walsall (WS3 3XL). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1762 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 58.4% above the 2011 sale of £238,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 45.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Belfry Close is modelled from its 164 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 3XL. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Belfry 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 1 Belfry Close was lodged in January 2011 at band D and expired in January 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Belfry 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 24 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS3 3XL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Belfry Close is in council tax band E. 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.
