1 Dora Road, West Bromwich, B70 7SR
About 1 Dora Road
1 Dora Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in West Bromwich (B70 7SR). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include outbuildings. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 sits 517.1% above the 1999 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 69.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 99 m² it's 15.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 11 EPCs).
