Overview

About Kilmar

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

Kilmar is a four-bedroom detached house in Looe (PL13 1EX). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Today's modelled estimate of £446,000 is 33.1% above the 2017 sale price.
