7 Apley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1279 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 sits 58.8% above the 2011 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 16.4% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 15 years ago, in August 2011.
