Overview

About 98 Castlecroft Road

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

98 Castlecroft Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 8LU). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since May 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 461.7% above the 1998 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 75.6% below the postcode norm.

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 98 Castlecroft Road is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 1 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. 1 sale is recorded for 98 Castlecroft Road. 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 98 Castlecroft Road was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, 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. None is matched to 98 Castlecroft Road. 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
98 Castlecroft Road is in council tax band D. 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.
