About 179 Owen Road

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

179 Owen Road is a mid-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV3 0HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
