About 25 Fenton Street
25 Fenton Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 1HR). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
