About 72a
72a is a semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 5AP). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, main heating went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 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.
