About 7 Bower Street
7 Bower Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Carlisle (CA2 7DG). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
