About Willy Wilcox Cottage
Willy Wilcox Cottage is an end-of-terrace house in Polperro, Looe, Looe (PL13 2QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 543 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 is 61.1% below the 2018 sale of £700,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,288/sq ft) was about 194.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 8 years ago, in May 2018. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
