Overview

About 3 Highfield Drive

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

3 Highfield Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Wembury, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL9 0EX). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 108), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since October 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. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 55.6% above the 2009 sale of £225,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 77 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 6 EPCs).

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 3 Highfield Drive is modelled from its 77 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 3 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 3 Highfield Drive was lodged in December 2014 at band D and expired in December 2024, 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. 2 applications are matched to 3 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
3 Highfield Drive 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.
