About 7 Linden Road
7 Linden Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 4DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
