Overview

About Christmas Cottage

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

Christmas Cottage is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Looe (PL13 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1998–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year.
