How the estimate is made
The estimate for 52b is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 1JD. 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 52b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
52b is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL7 1JD). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the 9th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–144 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
It hasn't traded since June 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £115,000 sits 618.8% above the 1999 sale of £16,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30/sq ft) was about 83.7% below the postcode norm. At 50 m² it's 18% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 22 EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 52b is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 1JD. 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 52b. 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 52b was lodged in May 2021 at band C and is valid until May 2031. 2 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 52b. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL7 1JD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 52b 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.
