Overview

About 8 Botany Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Botany Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Walsall (WS5 4ND). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 306.5% above the 2015 sale of £46,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 62.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 83 m² it's 16.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 23 EPCs). Last changed hands 11 years ago, in March 2015.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Botany Road is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 4ND. 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 8 Botany Road. 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 8 Botany Road was lodged in December 2014 at band D and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Botany Road. 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 37 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS5 4ND, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Botany Road is in council tax band B. 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.
