About 6 Culvert Way
6 Culvert Way is a mid-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 1TD). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
