Lantau, Higher Chapel Street, Looe, PL13 1AU
About Lantau
Lantau is a mid-terrace house in Looe (PL13 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 922 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 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. At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 is 31.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 35.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
