Overview

About 678 Wolseley Road

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

678 Wolseley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL5 1JL). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 103 m² it's 19.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 31 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 is 46% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 15.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in April 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
