Overview

About 2 Carbence Cottages

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

2 Carbence Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Carbis Bay, St. Ives, St Ives (TR26 2RU). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 is 42.1% above the 2009 sale price.
