Local market context
21 Lavinia Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 1ZG). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since October 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 57 m² it's 21.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 32 EPCs).
