About 18 Dunstone Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Dunstone Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Higher St. Budeaux, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL5 2HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £276,000 sits 90.3% above the 2011 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 54.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 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 18 Dunstone Road is modelled from its 160 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 18 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 18 Dunstone Road was lodged in December 2013 at band C and expired in December 2023, 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 18 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
- 18 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.
