Overview

About 3 Boringdon Villas

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

3 Boringdon Villas is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 4DY). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. At 150 m² this is the 17th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–283 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (October 2012) 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 October 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 is 29.6% above the 2003 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 46.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
