About 18 Darent Walk
18 Darent Walk is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bettws, Newport, Newport (NP20 7SN). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
