Overview

About 126a

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

126a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV3 8LU). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
