13a is a semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 3QU). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have lagged England HPI: -12.9% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 111.3% above the 2008 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 31.6% below the postcode norm. At 90 m² it's 23.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 15 EPCs).
