Overview

About 1 Abbots Way

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

1 Abbots Way is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV3 9LR). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 30 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–321 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom.

At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £99,000 sits 51.1% above the 2020 sale of £65,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 67.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold August 2020 for £65,500. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2018.
