About 46 Riches Street
46 Riches Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV6 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 52 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (52–237 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 16 units on file. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 11% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 135.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 12 years since the last transfer (October 2014). At 52 m² it's 29.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 15 EPCs).
