322 Birmingham Road, Walsall, WS5 3NE

322 Birmingham Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Walsall (WS5 3NE). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £496,000 sits 50.3% above the 2008 sale of £330,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 24.5% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
