The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 8LX. 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.

Flat 3 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 8LX). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–57 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 49 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (42 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 39.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 39.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
