About 8 Carew Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Carew Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL5 3PA). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 648 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a C (score 71). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 60 m² it's 16.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 14 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 is 36.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 39.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
