Overview

About 4 Barbican Court

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

4 Barbican Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 0EL). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 51 m² this is the 6th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–59 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 51 m² it's 29.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (40 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 is 11.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£260/sq ft) was about 17.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 4 Barbican Court is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 0EL. 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 Barbican Court. 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 Barbican Court was lodged in September 2020 at band E and is valid until September 2030. 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 4 Barbican Court. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 0EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Barbican Court 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.
