About Pen Y Bryn
Pen Y Bryn is a detached house in Looe (PL13 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
