Overview

About 1 Castlecroft Gardens

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Castlecroft Gardens is a three-bedroom detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 8LN). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1515 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £461,000 sits 64.6% above the 2017 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 31% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Castlecroft Gardens is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 8LN. 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 1 Castlecroft Gardens. 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 1 Castlecroft Gardens was lodged in October 2008 at band F and expired in October 2018, 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. 2 applications are matched to 1 Castlecroft Gardens. 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 32 schools and 8 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 8LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Castlecroft Gardens 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.
