About 8 Sefton Grove
8 Sefton Grove is a detached house in Tipton (DY4 0AG). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 605 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69).

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 sits 55.5% above the 2008 sale of £128,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 108.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022.
