Overview

About 16 Valley Lane

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

16 Valley Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Carnon Downs, Truro, Truro (TR3 6LP). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 952 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 61.8% above the 2009 sale of £220,000.
