Overview

About Birch Court

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

Birch Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV1 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 62 m² this is the 17th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in Birch Court, where floor areas span 34–73 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 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.

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for Birch Court is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV1 1QJ. 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 Birch Court. 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 Birch Court was lodged in November 2015 at band C and expired in November 2025, 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 Birch Court. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 40 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV1 1QJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: Birch Court 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.
