Flat 3, 40 Wellington Road, Dudley, DY1 1RD
About Flat 3
Flat 3 is a one-bedroom detached house in Dudley (DY1 1RD). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 32 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (32–48 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 1997, a hold of 29 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. Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 sits 184% above the 1997 sale of £58,450. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 32.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (47 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
