Overview

About 18 Bellflower Drive

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

18 Bellflower Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Walsall (WS5 4SS). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Bellflower Drive is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 4SS. 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 18 Bellflower Drive. 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 18 Bellflower Drive was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, 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 18 Bellflower Drive. 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 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS5 4SS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Bellflower Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
