About 2 The Orchard
2 The Orchard is a semi-detached house in Looe (PL13 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 780 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
