Overview

About 7 Queens Gate

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

7 Queens Gate is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lipson, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL4 7PW). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). At 144 m² this is the 13th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–330 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 20 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 is 18% below the 2007 sale of £450,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 98.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 144 m² it's 29.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 19 EPCs).
