1 Old College Drive, Wednesbury, WS10 0DD

1 Old College Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Wednesbury (WS10 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1208 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 48 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 is 42.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
