247 Birmingham Road, Walsall, WS5 3AA

247 Birmingham Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Walsall (WS5 3AA). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £543,000 is 48.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 47.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
