24 Bowes Road, Staines Upon Thames, TW18 3ET

24 Bowes Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Staines Upon Thames (TW18 3ET). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 977 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 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. At 91 m² it's 25.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 22 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £381,000 sits 100.5% above the 2009 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 39% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
