About 31 Oaklands Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 Oaklands Road is a semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 219 m² (around 2357 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2010–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 is 43% below the 2021 sale of £470,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£199/sq ft) was about 102.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 219 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 65 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold November 2021 for £470,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 31 Oaklands Road is modelled from its 219 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 0DS. 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 31 Oaklands 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 31 Oaklands Road was lodged in June 2016 at band E and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 31 Oaklands Road is in council tax band C. 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.
