About 2 Richardson Drive
2 Richardson Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Yealmpton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL8 2NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a C (score 74).

Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on oil.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £504,000 sits 69.4% above the 2007 sale of £297,500.
