About 26a

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

26a is a semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL2 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
