About 5b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5b is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Prince Rock, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL4 9NR). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 59 m² this is the 17th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–61 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 is 41.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 25.8% below the postcode norm. On the market in July 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

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 5b is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 9NR. 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 5b. 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 5b was lodged in February 2016 at band C and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5b. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 9NR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5b 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.
