Overview

About 20 Elm Road

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

20 Elm Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Mannamead, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL4 7BA). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in December 2003. At 142 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 sits 58.6% above the 2003 sale of £128,000.
