About 71a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
71a is a semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 1AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 430 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (40–80 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 52.8% below the 2021 sale of £290,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. At 40 m² it's 24.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 5 EPCs). Sold February 2021 for £290,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
