About 23 Adams Close
23 Adams Close is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Smethwick (B66 1HD). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the 7th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 71). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2001 — that's 25 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 £112,000 sits 314.8% above the 2001 sale of £27,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 43.5% below the postcode norm.
