5 Hanbury Hill is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).
Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £322,000 sits 75% above the 2008 sale of £184,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 39.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
