About 5 Pennhouse Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Pennhouse Avenue is a semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV4 4BG). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 is 36.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 52.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2010.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Pennhouse Avenue is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WV4 4BG. 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 5 Pennhouse Avenue. 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 5 Pennhouse Avenue was lodged in September 2013 at band E and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 5 Pennhouse Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
