Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in West Bromwich (B70 6PY). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 is 53.3% below the 2022 sale of £345,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£451/sq ft) was about 334.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 71 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2022. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold May 2022 for £345,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
