Overview

About 5 Commercial Road

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

5 Commercial Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 0LD). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
