Overview

About 5 Sussex Place

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

5 Sussex Place is an end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 2HT). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in August 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 sits 313.5% above the 1999 sale of £65,300. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 72.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2005. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
