About 1 Bal Farm Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Bal Farm Cottages is a semi-detached house in Gulval, Penzance, Penzance (TR18 3BE). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since April 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
