Overview

About 3 Boringdon Villas

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

3 Boringdon Villas is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 4DY). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. At 150 m² this is the 17th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–283 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (October 2012) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £471,000 sits 74.4% above the 2003 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 46.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 3 Boringdon Villas is modelled from its 150 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 4DY. 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 3 Boringdon Villas. 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 3 Boringdon Villas was lodged in October 2012 at band E and expired in October 2022, 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. None is matched to 3 Boringdon Villas. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL7 4DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Boringdon Villas is in council tax band D. 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.
