About 18 Sefton Grove
18 Sefton Grove is a three-bedroom detached house in Tipton (DY4 0AG). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1114 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 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. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 402.4% above the 1996 sale of £62,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 49.7% below the postcode norm.
