4 Alwen Street is an end-of-terrace house in Stourbridge (DY8 5YP). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 sits 382.2% above the 1997 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 70.1% below the postcode norm. At 105 m² it's 21.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 38 EPCs).
