About 15 Derry Avenue
15 Derry Avenue is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 6BH). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.
Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
