About 7a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7a is a mid-terrace house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 4DY). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 6 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. At 53 m² this is the 6th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–283 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 19 units on file.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 is 17.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 77.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it's 20.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 18 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 7a is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 4DY. 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 7a. 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 7a was lodged in November 2023 at band D and is valid until November 2033. 6 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 7a. 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 4DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
