Overview

About 18 Kinsey Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

18 Kinsey Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Smethwick (B66 4SN). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 102 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (47–102 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 43 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to 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 C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity.

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. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 42 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 19.4% below the postcode norm.
