9 St James Street is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Monmouth (NP25 3DL). It has a recorded floor area of 288 m² (around 3100 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof 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 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
