Overview

About Palace Vaults

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

Palace Vaults is an end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 2NA). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 54 m² this is the 7th smallest of 13 units on EPC record in Palace Vaults, where floor areas span 29–133 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sale on file: £117,000 in March 2022. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2005–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 18.8% above the 2022 sale price.
