Overview

About 40 The Avenue

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

40 The Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Castlecroft, Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton (WV3 8LR). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £288,000 sits 69.4% above the 2008 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 47.2% below the postcode norm.
