About 528 Penn Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
528 Penn Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV4 4HU). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2009–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 58.7% above the 2017 sale of £160,000.

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 528 Penn Road is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WV4 4HU. 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 528 Penn 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 528 Penn Road was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 528 Penn 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 18 schools and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV4 4HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 528 Penn Road is in council tax band B. 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.
