Overview

About Flat 1

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 1 is a one-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL9 7EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. At 62 m² this is the 5th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 57–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 62 m² it's 25.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 30 EPCs). Across 2013–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Sold February 2022 for £130,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
