2 Lower Saltram is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL9 7PW). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 38.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in April 2013.
