About Porthview

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

Porthview is a four-bedroom detached house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8AE). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 783 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2006, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (112 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £408,000 is 38.3% above the 2006 sale price.
