About 24a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24a is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 7BN). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 486 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 15th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–173 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 51 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 sits 72.9% above the 2007 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 55.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it's 24.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 50 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 24a is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 7BN. 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 24a. 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 24a was lodged in January 2011 at band C and expired in January 2021, 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. 1 application is matched to 24a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 7BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 24a 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.
