About 184 Penn Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
184 Penn Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 0EN). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area.

When first surveyed in September 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: tree works approved 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 184 Penn Road is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 0EN. 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 184 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 184 Penn Road was lodged in November 2018 at band E and is valid until November 2028. 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 184 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 34 schools and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 0EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 184 Penn Road is in council tax band F. 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.
