Overview

About 68 Alexandra Road

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

68 Alexandra Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ford, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL2 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (August 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 47), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 55 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2012–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 is 14.8% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 63.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2022 for £230,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 68 Alexandra Road is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 3BU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 68 Alexandra Road. 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 68 Alexandra Road was lodged in October 2014 at band G and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 68 Alexandra Road. 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 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL2 3BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
68 Alexandra Road 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.
