6 Hanson Close, Smethwick, B66 2BY
About 6 Hanson Close
6 Hanson Close is an end-of-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 2BY). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 is 30.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£216/sq ft) was about 16.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
