About 5 Edgbaston Road
5 Edgbaston Road is a mid-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
