Overview

About 55 Riches Street

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

55 Riches Street is a semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV6 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 28). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 15 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. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 is 45% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.
