Overview

About 13 Highfield Drive

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

13 Highfield Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Wembury, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL9 0EX). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 72 m² it's 22.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 6 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs).
