About 5 Baker Street
5 Baker Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tipton (DY4 8LA). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, outbuildings and a loft.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 sits 91.4% above the 2009 sale of £104,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 22% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
