About 6 Athenaeum Street

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

6 Athenaeum Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 2RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since February 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 sits 368.3% above the 1997 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 69.8% below the postcode norm. At 95 m² it's 21% larger than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 18 EPCs).
