144 Great Arthur Street, Smethwick, B66 1DG

144 Great Arthur Street is a mid-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 1DG). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2015. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, 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 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 39.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 37.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
