About 16 Kinsey Road
16 Kinsey Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Smethwick (B66 4SN). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 63 m² this is the 35th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–102 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (May 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 14.1% below the 2007 sale of £133,950, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 20.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
