Overview

About La Orotava

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

La Orotava is a four-bedroom detached house in Heybrook Bay, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL9 0BX). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 190 m² the property is well over the postcode median (142 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,220,000 is 22% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £1,000,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
