About 168 Penn Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
168 Penn Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 0EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £287,000 sits 218.9% above the 2000 sale of £90,000. At 157 m² it's 16.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (134 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

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 168 Penn Road is modelled from its 157 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 0EJ. 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 168 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 168 Penn Road was lodged in June 2011 at band F and expired in June 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 168 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 39 schools and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 0EJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 168 Penn Road is in council tax band D. 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.
