16 Ty Trappa Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontnewydd, Cwmbran, Cwmbran (NP44 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £191,000 sits 91% above the 2008 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 15.5% below the postcode norm.
