About 3 New Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 New Street is a three-bedroom detached house in Merry Hill, Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton (WV3 7NW). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
11 years since the last transfer (August 2015). Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 96 m² it's 28.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 is 43.2% above the 2015 sale price.

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 3 New Street is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 7NW. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 3 New Street. 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 3 New Street was lodged in June 2013 at band E and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 3 New Street. 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 26 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 7NW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 New Street 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.
