About 1 Dawes Avenue
1 Dawes Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in West Bromwich (B70 7LP). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2016) 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 2016. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 78.4% above the 2007 sale of £134,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 102 m² it's 20.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 6 EPCs).
