About 42 White Friars Lane

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

42 White Friars Lane is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St. Judes, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL4 9RB). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 43 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 53 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–154 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in March 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 sits 275.7% above the 1999 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 63.6% below the postcode norm.
