About 20 Belmont Road
20 Belmont Road is a mid-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 4EL). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 sits 79.1% above the 2015 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 25.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in January 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
