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 19 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 £243,000 sits 272.1% above the 1999 sale of £65,300. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 73.7% 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.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5 Sussex Place is modelled from its 155 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL1 2HT. 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 5 Sussex Place. 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 5 Sussex Place was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Sussex Place. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL1 2HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Sussex Place is in council tax band C. 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.
