The Fors, Horn Lane, Plymouth, PL9 9BR
About The Fors
The Fors is a semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL9 9BR). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1831 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 170 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 is 30.8% above the 2008 sale price.
