Overview

About 68 Alexandra Road

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

68 Alexandra Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ford, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL2 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (August 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 47), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 54 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2012–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £258,000 is 12.2% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 64.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2022 for £230,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
