Overview

About 42 Bowes Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

42 Bowes Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Staines Upon Thames (TW18 3ET). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 2010–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £453,000 is 18.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£481/sq ft) was about 50.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
