About Garden Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Garden Flat is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 7DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 470 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2008 — that's 18 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 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 is 39.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 36.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Garden Flat is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 7DJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Garden Flat. 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 Garden Flat was lodged in October 2008 at band D and expired in October 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Garden Flat. 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 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 7DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
