How the estimate is made

The estimate for 16 Elphinstone Road is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 3QQ.

Overview

About 16 Elphinstone Road

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

16 Elphinstone Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL2 3QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2011. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2008–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 25.2% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 19.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2018, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 16 Elphinstone Road is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 3QQ. 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 16 Elphinstone 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 16 Elphinstone Road was lodged in July 2012 at band D and expired in July 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to 16 Elphinstone 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 52 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL2 3QQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Elphinstone Road 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.
