About 8 Church Street
8 Church Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Taunton (TA1 3JE). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.
Held since November 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
