About 16 Melrose Place
16 Melrose Place is a mid-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 1TA). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 sits 213.2% above the 2007 sale of £68,000.
