10 Gibson Drive, Smethwick, B66 1RW

10 Gibson Drive is an end-of-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 1RW). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in March 2001. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £363,000 sits 190.5% above the 2001 sale of £124,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 37.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
