Overview

About Sparkwell Lodge

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

Sparkwell Lodge is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 4AA). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £455,000 is 48.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 28.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in March 2016.
