How the estimate is made
The estimate for 122b is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 8LU. 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.

About 122b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
122b is a mid-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV3 8LU). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 42 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–174 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2012. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 122b is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 8LU. 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. No sale is recorded for 122b, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 122b was lodged in August 2012 at band D and expired in August 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to 122b. 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 29 schools and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 8LU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 122b is in council tax band A. 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.
