Overview

About 8 Carmarthen Road

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

8 Carmarthen Road is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 9EW). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in April 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 sits 483.7% above the 1997 sale of £43,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£28/sq ft) was about 77% below the postcode norm. At 142 m² it's 17.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (121 m² median across 23 EPCs).
