About 135 Penn Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
135 Penn Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV3 0ED). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 59 m² this is the 14th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 26–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 59 m² it's 25.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 27 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 38.8% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 21.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.

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 135 Penn Road is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 0ED. 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 135 Penn 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 135 Penn Road was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 135 Penn 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 38 schools and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 0ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 135 Penn 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.
