Overview

About 3 Acre Cottages

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

3 Acre Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 4QS). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 is 12.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 19.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
