Overview

About 12 Chesterton Close

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

12 Chesterton Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL5 3SB). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 sits 50.9% above the 2009 sale of £112,000.
