Overview

About 2 Richardson Drive

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

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). When first surveyed in June 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. 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. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

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.
