Overview

About 3 Bowlynn Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3 Bowlynn Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR3 2SU). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
