17 Brackenwood Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Wednesfield, Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton (WV11 3TA). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 66.9% above the 2009 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 17.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
