About 328 Birmingham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
328 Birmingham Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS5 3NE). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2023) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. At 84 m² this is the 5th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 70–506 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (81 versus a worst of 44). Other recorded features include a loft.
It hasn't traded since November 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 84 m² it sits well below the postcode median (129 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include subdivision and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£243/sq ft) was about 38.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 328 Birmingham Road is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3NE. 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 328 Birmingham Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- 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
- 328 Birmingham Road is in council tax band A. 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.
