Overview

About Higher Collard Cottage

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

Higher Collard Cottage is a detached house in Wotter, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 5HU). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

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 Higher Collard Cottage is modelled from its 209 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 5HU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Higher Collard Cottage. 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 Higher Collard Cottage was lodged in December 2014 at band D and expired in December 2024, 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 Higher Collard Cottage. 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 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL7 5HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: Higher Collard Cottage 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.
