About Howard Way

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

Howard Way is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Launceston (PL15 9EB). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 72 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in Howard Way, where floor areas span 46–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 72 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 sits 56.4% above the 2003 sale of £66,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 41.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
