Overview

About 17 Carew Avenue

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

17 Carew Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL5 3PA). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2009. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 2009–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 is 45.5% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 18.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
