About 17 Benbow Close
17 Benbow Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Malvern (WR14 4JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 907 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
Held since April 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.
