Overview

About 23 Kings Road

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

23 Kings Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Higher St. Budeaux, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL5 2PE). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 105.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2022 for £230,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
