About 2 Flinkford Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Flinkford Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Walsall (WS5 3HW). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 sits 73.8% above the 2009 sale of £122,000. At 71 m² it's 21.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 7 EPCs).

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 Flinkford Close is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3HW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Flinkford Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Flinkford Close. 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.

- Council tax band
- 2 Flinkford Close 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.
