About 1 Passmore Institute

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

1 Passmore Institute is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chacewater, Truro, Truro (TR4 8LN). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2022. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 is 40.6% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 20.1% below the postcode norm. Last sale on file: £175,000 in August 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
