About 137 Perry Street
137 Perry Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Smethwick (B66 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
Held since October 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 sits 325% above the 1996 sale of £36,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 47.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
