About 27 Knighton Road
27 Knighton Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Wembury, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL9 0EA). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in February 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 198 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £672,000 sits 68% above the 2009 sale of £400,000. 16 planning records sit against the property, 14 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, solar panel installation and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
