About Beechcroft

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

Beechcroft is a three-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL9 9BR). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
