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 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
