How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Cricket Close is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3PU. 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 3 Cricket Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Cricket Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Walsall (WS5 3PU). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 sits 50.5% above the 2008 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 20.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 81 m² it's 15.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 15 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 3 Cricket Close is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3PU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Cricket Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Cricket Close was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Cricket 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. The 29 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS5 3PU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Cricket Close is in council tax band D. 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.
