Overview

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 (PL2 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 767 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 71 m² this is the 55th smallest of 65 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–141 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 (44 versus a best of 85). Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 71 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 65 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

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 Flat 5 is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 1DJ. 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. 1 sale is 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 September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, 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 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL2 1DJ, 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 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.
