About Springtide

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

Springtide is a four-bedroom detached house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1143 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007 onwards. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on oil.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£324/sq ft) was about 91.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
