Overview

About 1 Folly Cottages

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

1 Folly Cottages is an end-of-terrace house in Venton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 5DS). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 752 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a G (score 11), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 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. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 52.5% above the 2009 sale of £200,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Folly Cottages is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 5DS. 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 Folly Cottages. 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 Folly Cottages was lodged in December 2009 at band G and expired in December 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Folly Cottages. 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 1 school and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL7 5DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Folly Cottages 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.
