2 Birch Dale is a detached house in Hagley, Stourbridge, Stourbridge (DY8 2YA). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 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 £611,000 is 34.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£300/sq ft) was about 34.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 141 m² it's 21.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (180 m² median across 3 EPCs).
