Overview

About The Copse

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

The Copse is a four-bedroom detached house in Yealmpton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL8 2NB). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2220 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 206 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £847,000 is 40% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£273/sq ft) was about 29.3% below the postcode 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 The Copse is modelled from its 206 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL8 2NB. 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 The Copse. 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 The Copse was lodged in January 2010 at band F 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. 1 application is matched to The Copse. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL8 2NB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Copse is in council tax band G. 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.
