About 1c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1c is an end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 3BE). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (33–107 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (53 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 178.8% above the 2013 sale of £49,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 56.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 1c is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL1 3BE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1c. 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 1c was lodged in July 2013 at band E and expired in July 2023, 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. None is matched to 1c. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL1 3BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
