About 3 The Quay
3 The Quay is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oreston, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL9 7NA). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since July 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 sits 399% above the 1998 sale of £73,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 72.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
