About Princess Lofts
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Princess Lofts is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV1 1HD). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 55 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Princess Lofts, where floor areas span 46–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.
Held since June 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £187,000 sits 149.5% above the 2001 sale of £74,950. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
