About 1 Cathcart Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Cathcart Avenue is a two-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL4 9QF). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 605 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. Tenure is freehold. At 56 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–138 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (43 versus a best of 73). The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 103% above the 2003 sale of £67,500. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2003. Past consents include new windows and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Cathcart Avenue is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 9QF. 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 1 Cathcart Avenue. 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 1 Cathcart Avenue was lodged in July 2010 at band E and expired in July 2020, 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 1 Cathcart Avenue. 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 9QF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
