Overview

About Beach View

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

Beach View is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the 12th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in Beach View, where floor areas span 35–50 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £195,000 in June 2019. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2003–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 is 17.4% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£362/sq ft) was about 39% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
