About Top Floor Flat
Top Floor Flat is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lipson, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL4 8QB). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (111 m² across 45 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 34.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 24.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
