3 Batchelor Close is a detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 4AX). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 284.6% above the 1997 sale of £82,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 45.4% below the postcode norm. At 115 m² it's 27.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
