About 17 Margaret Street
17 Margaret Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in West Bromwich (B70 8LE). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since February 2000, a hold of 26 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 £142,000 sits 343.8% above the 2000 sale of £32,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 40.8% below the postcode norm. At 67 m² it's 21.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 18 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
