About 1 Elm Terrace
1 Elm Terrace is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Austell (PL25 5QF). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
At 138 m² it sits well below the postcode median (225 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2010–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 is 17.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 96.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold May 2021 for £307,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
