About Mount Plym
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Mount Plym is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Totnes (TQ9 5PH). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Mount Plym (33–120 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 69). Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

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 Mount Plym is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 5PH. 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 Mount Plym. 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 Mount Plym was lodged in June 2020 at band E and is valid until June 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Mount Plym. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TQ9 5PH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Mount Plym is in council tax band B. 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.
