22 Castle Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 2HH). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 is 18% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 43.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 90 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 31 EPCs). Most recent transfer: March 2022 at £300,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
