3 Russett Close, Walsall, WS5 3DP

3 Russett Close is a detached house in Walsall (WS5 3DP). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 552 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 51 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 sits 310% above the 1996 sale of £59,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 55.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
