Overview

About 3 Barlow Gardens

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

3 Barlow Gardens is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL2 2SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 78 m² this is the 30th smallest of 45 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–137 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (68 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 78 m² it's 21.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 44 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 is 15.8% above the 2005 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Barlow Gardens is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 2SJ. 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 3 Barlow Gardens. 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 3 Barlow Gardens was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Barlow Gardens. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 49 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL2 2SJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Barlow Gardens 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.
