About Belle Vue
Belle Vue is a semi-detached house in Looe (PL13 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.
Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 is 20% below the 2022 sale of £425,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£295/sq ft) was about 82.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sale on file: £425,000 in August 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
