Overview

About 38 Riches Street

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

38 Riches Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV6 0DP). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2020 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 58.3% above the 2007 sale of £120,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
