About Chimney Tops

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

Chimney Tops is a detached house in Blaengarw, Bridgend, Bridgend (CF32 8BP). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
