5 Bute Road, Plymouth, PL4 7BQ
About 5 Bute Road
5 Bute Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 7BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2010–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 sits 52.1% above the 2014 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 23.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2020. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
