Overview

About Fairways

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

Fairways is a three-bedroom detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 9LT). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £475,000 sits 55% above the 2014 sale of £306,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 26.9% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 160 m² it's 15.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (138 m² median across 19 EPCs). Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 Fairways is modelled from its 160 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 9LT. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Fairways. 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 Fairways was lodged in December 2013 at band E and expired in December 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. 5 applications are matched to Fairways. 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 37 schools and 8 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV3 9LT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Fairways is in council tax band G. 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.
