9 Burns Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 4NF). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in August 2019 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since April 1999 — that's 27 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 £257,000 sits 283.6% above the 1999 sale of £67,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 49.9% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 67 m² it's 17.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 12 EPCs).
