Overview

About Albert Villas

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

Albert Villas is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL2 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in Albert Villas, where floor areas span 42–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 45 m² it's 26.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 20 EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 is 18.4% above the 2007 sale price.
