About Bothy Cottage

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

Bothy Cottage is a detached house in Badger, Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton (WV6 7JR). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
