About 26d
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
26d is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 2RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–209 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 23.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: February 2022 at £118,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
