Overview

About 1 Bute Road

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

1 Bute Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 7BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 45 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (45–128 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (69 versus a worst of 47). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.

It hasn't traded since August 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this 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 1 Bute Road is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 7BQ. 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 1 Bute 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 1 Bute Road was lodged in September 2021 at band C and is valid until September 2031. 4 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 1 Bute 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 7BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Bute 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.
