About 138 Dorchester Road

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

138 Dorchester Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Weymouth (DT4 7LG). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1476 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67).

At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2004–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year.
