17 Apley Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £338,000 is 33.1% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 28.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: January 2020 at £254,000.
