Overview

About The Old Courthouse

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

The Old Courthouse is a two-bedroom detached house in Dudley (DY1 1EP). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 84 m² this is the 14th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in The Old Courthouse, where floor areas span 34–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 16 units on file.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 84 m² it's 25.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 15 EPCs).
