About 678 Wolseley Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
678 Wolseley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL5 1JL). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 103 m² it's 19.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 31 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 is 36.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 16.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in April 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.

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 678 Wolseley Road is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 1JL. 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 678 Wolseley 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 678 Wolseley Road was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 678 Wolseley 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL5 1JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 678 Wolseley Road 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.
