120 Caerleon Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Newport (NP19 7GS). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a G (score 6), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (February 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 sits 59.2% above the 2010 sale of £142,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 23.5% below the postcode norm.
