How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2b is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 2ST. 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 2b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2b is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL5 2ST). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). At 47 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–107 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 16 units on file.
Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 sits 162.5% above the 2009 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 45.8% below the postcode norm. At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).

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 2b is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 2ST. 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 2b. 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 2b was lodged in August 2025 at band D and is valid until August 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2b. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL5 2ST, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2b 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.
