About 12 Molesworth Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Molesworth Road is a mid-terrace house in Stoke, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL1 5LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the 13th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–365 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (April 2018) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 sits 120% above the 2008 sale of £50,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 12 Molesworth Road is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL1 5LZ. 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 12 Molesworth Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 12 Molesworth Road. 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.
