Overview

About 3 Elm Drive

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

3 Elm Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St Columb (TR9 6SY). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 is 40.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 98.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
