About 1 Boswell Close
1 Boswell Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Newport (NP20 3HG). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 61 m² this is the 4th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 57–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
Held since June 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 sits 283.9% above the 1995 sale of £31,000.
