About Dormy House
Dormy House is a detached house in Looe (PL13 2BD). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £361,000 sits 76.4% above the 2014 sale of £204,620. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 22.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
