About 14 Bower Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Bower Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL12 9QW). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (January 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
