About 5 Northumberland Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Northumberland Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL5 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

A recent sale: £213,500 in March 2025. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, 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 5 Northumberland Street is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 1AY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Northumberland Street. 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 5 Northumberland Street was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Northumberland Street. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL5 1AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Northumberland Street 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.
