Overview

About 38 Victoria Road

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

38 Victoria Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL5 1RG). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 280% above the 2002 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 64% below the postcode norm.
