Local market context
16 Church Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 1NH). It has a recorded floor area of 229 m² (around 2465 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
