5 Shaftesbury Road, Wednesbury, WS10 0DJ

5 Shaftesbury Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wednesbury (WS10 0DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 sits 86.5% above the 2007 sale of £139,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£113/sq ft) was about 29.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
