About 5 Bowness Court
5 Bowness Court is a four-bedroom detached house in Congleton (CW12 4JR). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
It hasn't traded since September 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 40.5% above the 2007 sale price.
