About 3 Hanson Close
3 Hanson Close is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Smethwick (B66 2BY). 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 (July 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since January 2015. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 is 44.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 16.8% below the postcode norm.
