Overview

About 20 Carmarthen Road

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

20 Carmarthen Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 9EW). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 146 m² it's 20.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (121 m² median across 23 EPCs). Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 29.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 is 35% above the 2008 sale price.
