How the estimate is made
The estimate for 129a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CA2 5EN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 129a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
129a is a mid-terrace house in Carlisle (CA2 5EN). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 52 m² this is the 4th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 125% above the 2002 sale of £60,000. At 52 m² it's 18.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 8 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 129a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CA2 5EN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 129a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 129a was lodged in July 2015 at band E and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 129a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CA2 5EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 129a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
