Overview

About 70 Albion Street

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

70 Albion Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV1 3EG). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. At 37 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 64 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 64 units on file.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 63 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£314/sq ft) was about 59.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
