Overview

About 7 Queens Gate

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

7 Queens Gate is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lipson, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL4 7PW). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). At 144 m² this is the 13th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–330 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 20 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 144 m² it's 29.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 19 EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 98.9% 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 7 Queens Gate is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 7PW. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 7 Queens Gate. 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 7 Queens Gate was lodged in August 2018 at band D and is valid until August 2028. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 7 Queens Gate. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 7PW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Queens Gate 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.
