Overview

About 24a

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

24a is a two-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL2 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1143 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.

Held since June 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 78 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 is 38.4% above the 2011 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 24a is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 1BX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 24a. 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 24a was lodged in November 2010 at band E and expired in November 2020, 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 24a. 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL2 1BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
24a is in council tax band B. 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.
