54a is a three-bedroom detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 4QE). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 is 12% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£344/sq ft) was about 88.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £400,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
