Overview

About Lower Flat

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

Lower Flat is an end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV3 0EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 993 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 92 m² it sits well below the postcode median (157 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
