Overview

About 31 Desborough Road

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

31 Desborough Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 9PN). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 55.1% above the 2014 sale of £122,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 21.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). On the market in July 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
