About 7 Bowham Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Bowham Avenue is a semi-detached house in Bridgend (CF31 3PD). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1203 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 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. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 sits 57.6% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
