About 297 St Pauls Road
297 St Pauls Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Smethwick (B66 1HF). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 sits 3980% above the 1998 sale of £5,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£5/sq ft) was about 95.5% below the postcode norm.
