About 16 Elphinstone Road
16 Elphinstone Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL2 3QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2011. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2008–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 18.5% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 22.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
