Overview

About 10 Birchwood Gardens

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

10 Birchwood Gardens is a three-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL7 5DY). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 851 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since May 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 is 43.8% above the 2010 sale price.

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 10 Birchwood Gardens is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 5DY. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 10 Birchwood Gardens. 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 10 Birchwood Gardens was lodged in January 2010 at band D and expired in January 2020, 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 10 Birchwood Gardens. 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 5DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
10 Birchwood Gardens 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.
