About 39a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
39a is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL2 1PU). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 556 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 52 m² this is the 17th smallest of 48 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 17–349 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 50 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2002–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 62.5% above the 2014 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 25.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 47 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 39a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 1PU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 39a. 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 39a was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 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 39a. 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL2 1PU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 39a 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.
