About 2 Paradise Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Paradise Place is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 5QU). It has a recorded floor area of 19 m² (around 205 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

On EPC score it ranks last in the building (46 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (December 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 42.9% below the 2022 sale of £240,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying.

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 2 Paradise Place is modelled from its 19 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL1 5QU. 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 2 Paradise Place. 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 2 Paradise Place was lodged in December 2016 at band E and is valid until December 2026. 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 2 Paradise Place. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL1 5QU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Paradise Place 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.
