How the estimate is made
The estimate for 10 The Croft is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3DE. 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.

About 10 The Croft
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 The Croft is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS5 3DE). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from June 2014, 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. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 is 41.9% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 42.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 12 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 10 The Croft is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3DE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 10 The Croft. 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 10 The Croft was lodged in June 2014 at band C and expired in June 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. 4 applications are matched to 10 The Croft. 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 24 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from WS5 3DE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 10 The Croft is in council tax band C. 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.
