Overview

About St Dominick House

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

St Dominick House is a detached house in Launceston (PL15 8BP). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 209 m² the property is well over the postcode median (142 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £440,000 sits 91.3% above the 2012 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 51.2% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
