About 42 Highfield Road North
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
42 Highfield Road North is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pelsall, Walsall, Walsall (WS3 5DA). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 96.5% above the 2016 sale of £114,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 26.7% below the postcode norm. At 100 m² it's 28.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 37 EPCs). Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 42 Highfield Road North is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS3 5DA. 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 42 Highfield Road North. 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 42 Highfield Road North was lodged in August 2014 at band D and expired in August 2024, 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 42 Highfield Road North. 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 19 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS3 5DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 42 Highfield Road North is in council tax band B. 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.
