Overview

About 8 Plymouth Road

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

8 Plymouth Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Totnes (TQ9 5PH). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 182 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £639,000 sits 57.8% above the 2008 sale of £405,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
