Overview

About 31c

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

31c is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL2 2SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 45 m² this is the 5th smallest of 45 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–137 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 45 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (67 m² across 44 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2004–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 is 18.2% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £110,000 in March 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 31c is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 2SJ. 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 31c. 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 31c was lodged in July 2019 at band C and is valid until July 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 31c. 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 49 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL2 2SJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31c 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.
