5 Fairways Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 2RW). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 705 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2004–2012, sale prices here grew -0.4% per year, broadly in step with England's 0% HPI growth. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 77.8% above the 2012 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£326/sq ft) was about 39.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (117 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
