Overview

About 8 Lavinia Drive

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

8 Lavinia Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 1ZG). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 838 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 is 38.3% above the 2009 sale price.
