How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 1JL. 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.

About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL5 1JL). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 26–57 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (64 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 is 41.3% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 58.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2020 at £92,000.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 1JL. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in January 2014 at band D and expired in January 2024, 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. None is matched to Flat 1. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL5 1JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 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.
