Overview

About 20 Elm Road

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

20 Elm Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Mannamead, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL4 7BA). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 23 years, with the last transfer in December 2003. At 142 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 25 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. Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 sits 60.9% above the 2003 sale of £128,000.

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 20 Elm Road is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 7BA. 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 20 Elm 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 20 Elm Road was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, 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 20 Elm 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 7BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Elm 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.
