Overview

About 42 Westbury Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

42 Westbury Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Whitleigh, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL5 4AH). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £175,000 is 44.6% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 26.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 42 Westbury Close is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL5 4AH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 42 Westbury Close. 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 42 Westbury Close was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, 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 42 Westbury Close. 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 4AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
42 Westbury Close 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.
