Overview

About 21 Beacon Down Avenue

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

21 Beacon Down Avenue is a semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL2 2RU). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 49 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (49–178 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (32 versus a best of 73). The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
