Overview

About 13 Highfield Drive

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

13 Highfield Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Wembury, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL9 0EX). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 72 m² it's 22.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 6 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2009–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 is 41.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£335/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in May 2016.

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 13 Highfield Drive is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 0EX. 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 13 Highfield Drive. 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 13 Highfield Drive was lodged in February 2016 at band C and expired in February 2026, 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 13 Highfield Drive. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL9 0EX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
13 Highfield Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
