About 498 Sutton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
498 Sutton Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Walsall (WS5 3AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 1999, a hold of 27 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 £528,000 sits 212.4% above the 1999 sale of £169,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 37.5% below the postcode norm.
