Overview

About 53a

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

53a is a three-bedroom detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 8EE). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 sits 64.8% above the 2014 sale of £189,950. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
