About 17 Castle Street
17 Castle Street is a mid-terrace house in Bishops Castle (SY9 5BU). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 992 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
