About 3 Park Road West
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Park Road West is a semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV1 4PS). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 51 m² this is the 6th smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–139 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 13 units on file.
Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.

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 3 Park Road West is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV1 4PS. 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 3 Park Road West. 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 3 Park Road West 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 3 Park Road West. 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 39 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV1 4PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Park Road West 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.
