About 40 Rayleigh Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
40 Rayleigh Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 0AP). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 sits 102.1% above the 2011 sale of £93,500.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 40 Rayleigh Road is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 0AP. 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 40 Rayleigh Road. 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 40 Rayleigh Road was lodged in June 2016 at band E and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 40 Rayleigh Road. 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 42 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 0AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 40 Rayleigh Road 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.
