Overview

About 47a

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

47a is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 2LD). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.

Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 30% below the 2021 sale of £300,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£313/sq ft) was about 140.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £300,000 in October 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
