141 Great Arthur Street, Smethwick, B66 1DG

141 Great Arthur Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 1DG). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 sits 91.1% above the 2007 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 48% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
