About 12 Forest Avenue
12 Forest Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL2 3QD). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 120 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 29 EPCs). Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £222,000 is 33.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 15.2% below the postcode norm.
