About 16 Derry Avenue
16 Derry Avenue is a six-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 6BH). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 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. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 is 31% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 56.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 102 m² it's 17.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (124 m² median across 41 EPCs).
