About 14 Alderton Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Alderton Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 7JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since October 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2003–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 is 37.8% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 41.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 14 Alderton Drive is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 7JZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 14 Alderton Drive. 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 14 Alderton Drive was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 2036. 2 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 14 Alderton Drive. 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 36 schools and 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 7JZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Alderton Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
