26 Alderton Drive is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV3 7JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 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 (80 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 51.7% above the 2007 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 23.8% below the postcode norm.
