About 7 Evelyn Street
7 Evelyn Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL5 1QB). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 47 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 70.7% above the 2009 sale of £116,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 33.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
