How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Boscastle Gardens is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 3TR. 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.

About 4 Boscastle Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Boscastle Gardens is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL2 3TR). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 is 38.3% above the 2009 sale price.

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 4 Boscastle Gardens is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 3TR. 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 4 Boscastle 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 4 Boscastle Gardens was lodged in March 2013 at band D and expired in March 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 4 Boscastle 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 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL2 3TR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Boscastle 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.
