About 18 Astbury Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Astbury Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Walsall (WS3 3YB). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. Other recorded features include a conservatory. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (June 2017) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 88 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £334,000 sits 76.7% above the 2007 sale of £189,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 31.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. 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 18 Astbury Close is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 3YB. 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 18 Astbury 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 18 Astbury Close was lodged in June 2017 at band D and is valid until June 2027. 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 18 Astbury 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 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS3 3YB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Astbury Close is in council tax band D. 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.
