About 20 Brentor Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Brentor Road is a semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL4 9PS). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 sits 261.3% above the 2001 sale of £59,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 66.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 20 Brentor Road is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 9PS. 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 Brentor 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 Brentor Road was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 20 Brentor 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 9PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Brentor 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.
