Get started5 Dickens Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dudley (DY3 3EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
