About Amber Terrace
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Amber Terrace is a one-bedroom detached house in Kidderminster (DY10 1SW). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 42 m² this is the 4th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in Amber Terrace, where floor areas span 40–47 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (47 versus a best of 75).
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in July 1996. 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 £105,000 sits 275% above the 1996 sale of £28,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 39.1% below the postcode norm.
