About 42 Bowes Road
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.
