About 68 Riches Street
68 Riches Street is a mid-terrace house in Wolverhampton (WV6 0EA). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
