About 17 York Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 York Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL5 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 810 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since May 2010. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2011–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at -23% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 sits 76.9% above the 2011 sale of £104,000. At 75 m² it's 27% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 14 EPCs).

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 17 York Road is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 1AT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 17 York 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 17 York Road was lodged in December 2010 at band E and expired in December 2020, 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. None is matched to 17 York 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL5 1AT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 York 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.
