Overview

About Petroc

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

Petroc is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Looe (PL13 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1162 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2006–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 is 45.5% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in April 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
