20 Apley Road is a semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 74 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 17 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 62.1% above the 2010 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 20.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
