About 96 Walpole Street
96 Walpole Street is an end-of-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV6 0AS). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 32.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 172.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
