Overview

About 8 Polmear Apartments

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

8 Polmear Apartments is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Charlestown, St. Austell, St Austell (PL25 3AL). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. At 50 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (50–75 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in September 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£483/sq ft) was about 101.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
