How the estimate is made
The estimate for Oak House is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS6 6ER. 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 Oak House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Oak House is a mid-terrace house in Walsall (WS6 6ER). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the 28th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in Oak House, where floor areas span 30–86 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (63 versus a best of 86). The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Oak House is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS6 6ER. 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. No sale is recorded for Oak House, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Oak House was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 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. None is matched to Oak House. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS6 6ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Oak House 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.
