About 8 Briar Close
8 Briar Close is a detached house in Stafford (ST17 0NG). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), 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 October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 sits 58.7% above the 2008 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 22.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
