About 27 Beacon Close
27 Beacon Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Smethwick (B66 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 741 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 69 m² it's 22.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 15 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £152,000 is 28.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 29.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
