Overview

About 3 Durham Avenue

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

3 Durham Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 8SP). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in October 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

It hasn't traded since February 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. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 sits 65.8% above the 2008 sale of £120,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).
