About Flat 5
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 5 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 3BN). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (77 versus a worst of 28). Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. Main heating runs on electricity.

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 Flat 5 is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL1 3BN. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Flat 5. 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 Flat 5 was lodged in January 2016 at band C and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Flat 5. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL1 3BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 5 is in council tax band A. 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.
