Overview

About 20 Chesterton Close

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

20 Chesterton Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL5 3SB). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 32% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 17.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
