About 284 St Pauls Road
284 St Pauls Road is a detached house in Smethwick (B66 1HE). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
