8 Forge Road, Walsall, WS3 5DS
About 8 Forge Road
8 Forge Road is a semi-detached house in Walsall (WS3 5DS). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 sits 418.5% above the 1998 sale of £40,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 59.1% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
