21 Apley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since November 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 34.1% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 sits 336.8% above the 1997 sale of £57,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 69.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
