About Vorvounder
Vorvounder is a mid-terrace house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8AD). It has a recorded floor area of 22 m² (around 237 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 377.6% above the 2000 sale of £33,500.
