About 15 Dunstone Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Dunstone Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Higher St. Budeaux, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL5 2HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 876 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 sits 60.8% above the 2009 sale of £143,000.

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 15 Dunstone Road is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 2HJ. 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 15 Dunstone 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 15 Dunstone Road was lodged in July 2009 at band F and expired in July 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 15 Dunstone 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL5 2HJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Dunstone Road 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.
