How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Calthorpe Road is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3LY. 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 5 Calthorpe Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Calthorpe Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS5 3LY). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
Held since February 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.
