Overview

About 5 Masterman Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Masterman Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL2 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 is 44.6% above the 2007 sale price.
