Overview

About Tree Tops

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

Tree Tops is a two-bedroom detached house in Carnon Downs, Truro, Truro (TR3 6LE). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 143% above the 2021 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 54.7% below the postcode norm. At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: November 2021 at £100,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
