Overview

About 16 Durham Avenue

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

16 Durham Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 8SP). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 is 39.2% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 91.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
