About 16 Riches House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Riches House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV6 0DY). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. At 59 m² this is the 13th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–72 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 21 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 16.3% below the 2006 sale of £135,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£213/sq ft) was about 15.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since November 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Riches House is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WV6 0DY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Riches House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 16 Riches House was lodged in February 2023 at band D and is valid until February 2033. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Riches House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 38 schools and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WV6 0DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Riches House is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
