How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18a is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV1 3RJ. 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 18a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV1 3RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in September 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 sits 987% above the 1997 sale of £11,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£24/sq ft) was about 76.5% below the postcode norm. At 45 m² it's 28.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 10 EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2006.

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 18a is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV1 3RJ. 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 18a. 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 18a was lodged in September 2024 at band D and is valid until September 2034. 4 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 18a. 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 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV1 3RJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18a 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.
