About 16 Britannia Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Britannia Place is a mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 9JX). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. At 49 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 25 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 24.6% below the 2022 sale of £152,500, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 167.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £152,500 in July 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 16 Britannia Place is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 9JX. 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 16 Britannia Place. 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 16 Britannia Place was lodged in June 2019 at band E and is valid until June 2029. 5 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 16 Britannia Place. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 9JX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Britannia Place 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.
