About 1 Bowen Place
1 Bowen Place is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Newport (NP20 2RG). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
