About The Mowbray
The Mowbray is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1PS). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since February 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
