About 1 Gards Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Gards Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL5 2AE). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 757 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 74.4% above the 2012 sale of £133,000. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 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 1 Gards Lane is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 2AE. 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 1 Gards Lane. 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 1 Gards Lane was lodged in August 2009 at band D and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Gards Lane. 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 2AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Gards Lane is in council tax band C. 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.
