14 Berry Drive, Smethwick, B66 1RN
About 14 Berry Drive
14 Berry Drive is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Smethwick (B66 1RN). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since February 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 £309,000 sits 228.9% above the 2001 sale of £93,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 40.2% below the postcode norm. At 122 m² it's 22% larger than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
