17 Albany Drive, Cannock, WS12 2GQ

17 Albany Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Cannock (WS12 2GQ). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 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. At 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 sits 239.9% above the 1999 sale of £116,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 50.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
