Overview

About Hillside Cottage

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

Hillside Cottage is a semi-detached house in Venton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 5DR). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 96), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 sits 51.3% above the 2008 sale of £275,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
