Local market context
Ashton Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 4LX). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
