About 2 Longwood Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Longwood Lane is a detached house in Walsall (WS5 3AT). It has a recorded floor area of 269 m² (around 2896 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2009) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Today's modelled estimate of £742,000 sits 51.4% above the 2009 sale of £490,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 37.2% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. 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 2 Longwood Lane is modelled from its 269 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3AT. 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 2 Longwood Lane. 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 2 Longwood Lane was lodged in April 2009 at band B and expired in April 2019, 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. 4 applications are matched to 2 Longwood Lane. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS5 3AT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Longwood Lane is in council tax band G. 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.
