Overview

About 520 Wolseley Road

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

520 Wolseley Road is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL5 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £157,000 sits 342.3% above the 2000 sale of £35,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 49% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
