About 8 Crew Drive
8 Crew Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Tipton (DY4 7SS). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 50.8% above the 2009 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 18.1% below the postcode norm.
