12 Duncombe Street is a semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 3QU). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 967 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 sits 91.6% above the 2009 sale of £129,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 22.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include partial demolition and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 90 m² it's 23.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 15 EPCs).
