Overview

About 168 Penn Road

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

168 Penn Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 0EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2000 — that's 26 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 £282,000 sits 213.3% above the 2000 sale of £90,000. At 157 m² it's 16.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (134 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
