Overview

About 5 Carmarthen Road

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

5 Carmarthen Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 9EW). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2010–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 is 31.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 29.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
